May is Food Allergy Awareness Month 🗓️ It’s the perfect time to learn about food allergies in babies and toddlers and how to manage them in everyday life! A food allergy happens when the immune system overreacts to a specific protein (an allergen) in a food, treating it like a threat. This can trigger symptoms ranging from mild to severe, also known as an “allergic reaction.” 🍞🥛🥜

To learn more, visit www.fampitfamily.org, a website with resources to help families navigate the early years of food allergies with confidence and ease!

Around here we say, “I’m fine” the same way we say, “Cold enough for ya?” It’s just what we do. But stress can build up over time, and sometimes “I’m fine” carries a little extra weight.

Talking about the stresses of farm life can help when things get overwhelming. So, when someone says, “I’m fine,” maybe ask again. It’s fine to not be “fine.”

Farmers are used to hard work, long hours, and pushing through tough days. But stress can build up over time, and sometimes “I’m fine” carries a little extra weight.

Taking a few minutes to talk with someone you trust can make a big difference. The next time someone asks how you’re doing, it’s fine to not be “fine.”
