Giveaway: The Field – The Realistic Field for Farm Play

September 24, 2018

I have lots of fond memories of “carpet farming.” My brothers owned lots of toy tractors and kept up with dad throughout the seasons. We would often create villages with different building blocks and the main economic driver was, of course, the farm.

But having a life-like field would’ve brought our play to another level!

That’s exactly what Padraic Cuddy discovered when his three-year-old son Tommy asked him to create a realistic toy field for grazing his farm animal figurines. Padraic is the owner of Class Grass Ireland, which supplies superior quality synthetic grasses to the Irish market. Padraic took Tommy’s idea and launched Field toys.

With its realistic fields, hedges, and wooden gates, kids who love playing with miniature farm animals and vehicles can immerse in playing “farm life” and imagine riding for the blue ribbon. Little ones will have a blast playing with grazing cattle, shepherding animals around the field, tending to a designated plot of farm land with the miniature tractor, and so much more.  The Field is highly versatile and is only limited by a child’s imagination.  Kids can also use it as fairy gardens, equestrian arenas, toy camping or picnicking as well as playing with soccer or football miniatures, legos, car parking, and much more.

The Field Toy can be used indoors, or outside, for hours of turning imaginations into reality. Each field comes with animal figures, a tractor and trailer and even arrives with a Certificate of Title, so there is no doubt as to who owns this tiny plot of creative fun!  Available in two sizes: the original Field, 26” x 17” as well as a Half Acre Field, 12” x 17”.

The Field and Half Acre Field are both available on Amazon.  Follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

My friends at Field Toys have graciously agreed to give a free field to one lucky follower! I love that other kids can experience the fun of carpet farming….er, with an upgrade!

To enter: Head over to my Facebook page. 1. Like the post announcing the giveaway. 2. Comment with the  first name of the little future farmer you would gift the Field Toy to.

Official Rules: Contest closes on September 28, 2018, 2018 at 11:59pm. A winner will be picked randomly by comment number and must have both liked the post and commented with an answer to the question. The winner will be contacted by the page administrator for mailing address. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours of being notified, another winner will be chosen. Open to U.S. residents only. Everyone is eligible to participate. No purchase necessary.

Consumers are feeling the pinch, and so are farmer Consumers are feeling the pinch, and so are farmers. The increased costs for #plant23 stem from higher seed, fertilizer, chemical, and land costs. Farmers are also paying higher interest rates. And keep in mind that #plant22 was also more costly than pre-COVID times.

Don't let anyone tell you that farmers (yes, even Don't let anyone tell you that farmers (yes, even conventional farmers) don't care about soil health. The truth is, farmers are *obsessed* with it.

Modern planting is a lot more sophisticated than j Modern planting is a lot more sophisticated than just placing seeds in the ground. Our equipment actually allows us to control how many plants we want per acre, precisely spaces each corn seed in the rows, and controls how deep the seed is planted. It's all part of precision agriculture that employs high-tech sensors and data to improve efficiency and yields.

Perspective. Last week I was in the cancer center Perspective.

Last week I was in the cancer center for routine labs and a port flush. Unfortunately, my port wasn't working. There's al these little "tricks" the nurse tries to open it up. One of those was putting different pressure on it. Needless to say, it hurt! And it didn't work. So she had to get something called TPA, put it in the line, and let it work--something that takes at least a half hour.

So there I sat for half an hour. In pain. A bit nauseous. And missing a work meeting. As you can imagine, I wasn't super happy about any of it.

But then came a voice over the hospital's intercom system (something that NEVER happens). There was a Code Blue in the neo-natal center. I asked my nurse what that meant. She said a baby was born without breathing. The doctors would do everything they could to resuscitate, and the Code Blue meant everyone who was available to help was supposed to report there immediately. 💔

Perspective. 

I was still in pain, nauseous, and missing my meeting. But at least I wasn't facing what those parents were facing. So I said a prayer for them and adjusted my attitude. My port started working, the nurse did her job, and I was on my way. 

A little reminder to keep things in perspective. 💜

Seriously, there's no reason to worry about pestic Seriously, there's no reason to worry about pesticide residue on fresh produce. The EPA regulates the use of pesticides to make sure U.S. farmers use them safely. And the USDA takes annual samples to make sure what's on store shelves meets those safety standards. 

It's always recommended to wash produce before eating it though--because you never know who else touched it.

 Most importantly, eat and enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables! 🍐🍇🍌🥝🥦🫑🧅🍅
