In October, seven bloggers spent three days learning more about Kansas agriculture on the #FarmFoodTour. Their goal was to get on the farm and learn directly from the people who grow our food.

Below are a few photos via Instagram from their excursion.

This is true life not a staged photo! I had the opportunity to #travel to the #ranch of @debbiel_b of CowsKidsandGrass and meet her #girlfriends who each run their family #farms. No farmhands no help just these women tending to their acres and acres of land and herds of cattle with love and respect to provide the world with food. Helping each other when needed. What an honor to have #dinner in the #fields with these women and cows. When asked about the awesome hats the answer was "I like to stand in the shade". We all have a lot to learn about where our #food really comes from and the love that is put into the land, animals and people that provide us with it. I cannot wait to share more with you soon. #farmfoodtour #tmom

Did you know you can pop sorghum kernels like popcorn? It is slightly sweet and makes an awesome snack! #glutenfree #snacktime #farmfoodtour

Lots of great information at Sawyer Farms with Derek & Katie. Learned about soybeans, grain sorghum, wheat and corn as well as cows! #farmfoodtour "we feed our family the same food that you do--we are proud of what we raise!"

So much goodness happening at #GoodFarm. The respect for their animals is amazing! The dedication Craig and Amy have for us as consumers is proof that small farmers are a special breed. #farming @heritagefoodusa #farmfoodtour
