- [Madeline] I'm Madeline Hooper.

I've been gardening for over 20 years, and of course, with gardening comes a lot of aches and pains.

So I finally decided, that maybe I should find a fitness trainer to see if I could fix my problems.

And a fellow gardener introduced me to Jeff Hughes.

After working with Jeff, it dawned on me, what would be more exciting than to travel all over America, visiting a wide variety of gardens, and helping their gardeners get garden fit.

[upbeat music] Taking care of your body, while taking care of your garden, that's our mission.

[upbeat music] - [Jeff] We have been driving for almost five hours.

We've got to run out of Michigan soon.

- We're almost running out of Michigan, but first, I have a fun thing for us to do to end this trip.

So repeat after me.

- Okay.

- Ze - Ze - Bah - Bah - Minge - Minge - Wong - Wong - Say it faster.

- [foreign language].

- A little faster.

- [foreign language].

- And faster still.

- [foreign language].

- Perfect.

- What am I saying?

- So at the very, very tip of Michigan where we're going, we're going to [foreign language] Farm.

[both laughs] - Okay.

- Actually that phrase means, where food meets the river.

- What language is this?

- Actually, it's a Native American language.

- Oh, cool.

- And the person we're gonna meet, is Rosebud Snyder.

- Rosebud?

- And Rosebud, has actually created this amazing garden Jeff, with all of the traditional ancestry seeds and techniques that make a real special garden, a healing garden.

- This is the real stuff.

- This is the real stuff.

And so, she sent us some stuff that I could show you- - Oh my bad, here comes the bag.

- To start thinking of whet your whistle.

- Okay.

- So this is really very special corn, you hold onto that one, while I show you all these amazing colors, look at that.

- That's huge.

- They're huge, and that must mean they're very healthy.

- Yes.

- And so she grows this very special variety of corn that looks like it's decorative.

And in fact, it can be decorative.

Like look at how this one is braided.

- Oh, that's pretty.

- Isn't that pretty?

- Yeah.

- But in fact, this is a real food staple of her tribe.

These are corn kernels, and they're very, very beautiful.

As a matter of fact- - What are you- - I'm gonna get this out because this- - What are you doing over there?

- Okay- - What is this?

- This is a Bodorgan.

And a Bodorgan, look at how fabulous that is- - It's a tree.

- That has been carved in a certain way for the task that it's going to help you do.

And then the inside is carved out.

- I'm starting to see is that like, when you- - Mortar and pestle.

- [Jeff] Oh, okay.

- So they take these corns.

- Uh-huh.

- And they grind them up.

- [Jeff] Uh-huh.

- And then you get cornmeal.

And it becomes a real staple in, I think their diet.

So I'm sure we're gonna learn about a lot of other methods that have been used historically.

- This is gonna be fun.

- Yeah.

- This is real stuff here.

Well, we're just about out of Michigan here.

Did she give you any kind of landmarks to look for?

- He did, so she said we should look for a red barn.

- A red barn.

- Yeah.

- [Jeff] It's a brisk day here in Michigan.

[both laughing] - It sure is.

- Oh my goodness, that must Rosebud.

- That must be Rosebud.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- So nice to see you.

- So nice to see you.

- Morning.

- This is Jeff Hughes.

- Rosebud.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, welcome to [foreign language].

- Thank you.

[foreign language].

- [foreign language].

[Rosebud laughs] We've been practicing.

It took us a minute.

- Yeah.

- It took me a minute.

[everyone laughs] - Well welcome, I'm so excited you guys are here.

- Oh, we're so happy to be here.

- You have been good.

- We do.

- Nice weather.

- With perfect weather.

- Yeah, so, you guys wanna check out the garden?

- Yes.

- We'd love to.

- All right.

- Let's go.

[ladies laughing] This is our Three Sisters Garden.

In our language, this would be called [speaks in foreign language] that's the name of the tribe.

And it just translates to Little Traverse Bay.

- Hey, you said Three Sisters.

That's interesting.

- Three Sisters.

- So, what is that?

- Corn, is our oldest sister, and beans is our middle sister, and squash is our little- - The baby.

- The baby sister.

And they're planted together 'cause they grow really well together.

- [Madeline] How great.

- Yeah, we plant in mounds.

This is one of our traditional ways that we grow, that our ancestors have done.

I like to plant this way, because I like to show how we used to grow, and how you can still grow.

- Let me go take a look.

Yeah.

- Yeah.

So this is our sister's here.

- [Madeline] Right.

- [Rosebud] I want you to meet the ladies.

[ladies laughing] - The ladies.

- Hello ladies.

- So, this is our corn.

- Hello ladies.

[Rosebud laughs] - So we plant our corn this way, we build our mounds up, seed our corn, wait till they're "knee high by the Fourth of July" you know that saying?

- Oh yes.

- So, we follow that too.

And then we come in and plant our beans and our squash.

And really, we just want to make sure that the corn is good and established and strong.

- Before you plant around it.

- Yeah, before you start planting around it, because the corn will act as a trellis for the- - Right, I think that's so cool.

- So it just grows right up the corn.

- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

- They don't strangle it or anything, right?

They're okay with it?

- Not all sisters are created equal.

- [Jeff] Uh-huh.

- So you have to be really careful what varieties that you pick.

Some beans can be really vigorous, and if you don't have sturdy enough corn- - Right.

- Those beans will pull that down.

This is a Red Lake Flint variety of corn.

It's what we use to make cornmeal or hominy out of.

You may have heard it called Indian Corn or Decorative Corn, but we're all about education here, [laughs] and using the right- - Forever more I will call it Flint corn.

- Flint corn, yeah.

[laughs] - And it looks like you have seven stalks on this.

- Yeah, so we plant seven, it stands for the seven grandfather teachings, [Jeff laughs] or we're in our seventh generation right now.

So, we do that to honor these kinds of teachings.

And then we did this as a community, we did a whole planting ceremony in June, and we all took turns, and they picked mounds and planted themselves, so- - That's so great.

- Yeah, it was really great to have help [laughs] to do all this out here.

- [Madeline] So maybe, let's go find the squash.

- Sure, come one in.

- So we can see the third little sister.

- Yeah, come on in.

Yeah, this is our squash sister.

The feisty sister I like to call her.

- Feisty.

- She's ever had to deal with her vines, she's pretty prickly.

- Yeah.

[laughs] She give me rashes definitely.

- Oh yeah.

Yeah, so this variety is actually gonna be a pumpkin and we don't know what she's actually gonna look like, a lot of us haven't grown this type of variety out yet, so.

- So where'd you get the seeds for this?

- So, I'm involved in a project with Seed Savers Exchange, and basically, they gave us access to their seed library.

- Wow.

- Which is pretty powerful.

- Pretty cool, yes.

[ladies laughing] - And I chose seeds specifically for this region, things that Sed Chippewa, or Ojibwe, or Odawa, because that tells me that they are from this region.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- And bringing them home to this part of the world is- - Bringing 'em home.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Five, six years of doing this type of work, you really start to really understand what it means to be a seed keeper, what it means to care for these seed relatives.

- Makes me wanna be a seed keeper.

- That's it.

[Rosebud laughs] - Yeah.

- I think that's a great goal.

- I love that saying you just said too.

- Yeah, yeah.

- That's really it.

- Yeah.

- So let's go see the center.

- Yeah, this is what I've deemed to be the center of the garden.

And it's gonna end up looking like a medicine wheel, with paths coming into the center- - That's cool.

- Meeting here at the center.

- That's really cool.

- Yeah.

- With the turtle as the center.

We're gonna build a turtle out of this mound here.

Gotta add a head in there and tail.

- And were turtles like good creatures?

- In our culture, we call North America, Turtle Island, and it's part of our creation story.

- Oh, okay.

- That's kinda cool.

- That our world was created on the back of a turtle.

- Yeah.

- So here's your world.

You were saying the medicine wheel, so this is the center of that wheel?

- Mm-hmm, the medicine wheel represents the four colors of humanity.

Red, yellow, black and white.

Also, the four directions.

Everything in nature has a purpose.

Circles are really important to us.

- [Madeline] Right.

- [Rosebud] But in each quadrant, there's a different bean variety.

- [Jeff] Oh okay.

- And that's really just because I had a lot of beans this year [laughs] and I wanted to figure out which bean likes this climate the best.

- Yeah.

- Right.

And the sunflowers, how did they arrive?

- So these sunflowers all seeded themselves.

So I plant sunflowers every year, and pretty much where they've fallen that's where they grow.

- But then this one is- - This one was intentional.

- Special?

- My son planted this one from school.

I actually think we gave them the seeds.

- Mm-hmm.

[ladies laughing] - So it just came back.

But he really wanted to put this in the center here, so.

[Rosebud laughs] - That's sweet.

- He's really proud of it.

- How old is he?

- He's 11.

- That's nice.

- That's a good age.

- He's been a farm boy for a while.

I mean that's my story.

As indigenous people, a lot of us were taken away from these different cultural practices.

Growing these three sisters, and taking care of land, and taking care of these seed relatives, is really a healing thing for not just myself, but for our community.

- Right.

- The way we eat food and the way we even view our food.

- You just said some seed relatives.

- Yeah, they're living beings, right?

You plant them and life happens.

- I love that.

[Rosebud laughing] It's cool.

- If you don't think about it that way, you're not gonna have a good relationship with that land, with that plant.

- It's just a wonderful concept that you have.

- I love hearing stuff like this, this is just really- - Yeah, and that's why I talk about the sisters, like they're actual sisters, 'cause they are actual sisters and you have to honor them.

- You do, absolutely.

- And they all have personalities.

My sisters and I, we call each other corn, bean, and squash.

[Jeff and Madeline laughs] Oh, yeah.

Well, you get to choose your sisters, I don't have biological sisters, I've gotten to choose mine.

So I'm pretty lucky that way.

- You are lucky, yeah, that's a different thing.

I have some sister friends.

- Yeah, we all need those, right?

[laughs] - Yeah, I love it, thank you.

- You wanna go for a walk?

- Yes.

- See more.

- What else is growing?

- Yeah.

- Rosebud, this has been really fun, and getting to know you.

You are a really special person.

I mean, I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know.

- Maybe I don't know that.

- Well, you're a mother, you're also a farmer, and on top of all that, you're carrying on the traditions of your people.

That's just a special thing that you do.

It's really hot.

- Yeah.

- I wanna, you wanna, do you mind if I put my hair up?

- Do you mind if I put my hair up?

- Let's do it.

- Do it.

[both laughing] It means we're getting down to business, I think.

- Yeah, this is like the perfect time of year.

- You're not gonna do the high bun?

- Oh no, I'm goin' low.

- Okay, I'll rock with the high bun.

- All right.

[Rosebud laughing] So what are some issues, arms, shoulders, elbows, knees kind of- - Yeah, all of it.

[Rosebud laughing] Yeah, I'm always sore.

Between the farm and the kitchen that we run, my right side always seems to hurt, my hip hurts, my back hurts.

No amount of stretching really relieves me from the kind of soreness that I feel.

- Outside of all the farm stuff, do you get a chance to get out and just do any other kind of movement?

- Not like how I would really want to.

My previous life before I moved up here, I was a dancer, I taught Zumba for a while.

- Oh yeah, okay, good.

- I always had that kind of stuff built into my day.

- Yeah.

- And I don't have that here.

I'm a mom, I'm help running this business, and my stuff comes last.

- Yeah.

- I'm always the last person- - That's kind of the way it works.

- That I take care of, so.

[laughing] - So, when you mentioned the kind of dancing you used to do, it brought to mind, indigenous dancing is very energetic and a lot of different directional movements.

Is that some thing you're familiar with?

- Oh yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, as soon as we can stand and walk, our parents are pushing us out into the arena and letting us learn from other dancers that are out doing that.

And that was a really huge, huge, huge part of my life that I don't- - You see gears going on in my head, right?

[Rosebud laughs] I'm gonna get back to that.

- I know.

- I'm coming back with that one, but let's go back to the stretching.

There's a couple different ways you can enhance a stretch.

One understanding, is understanding active and passive stretching.

And another type of stretching is just where you push into the muscle.

Basically, if you think of it this way, if you take a ball, a deflated ball, and you were gonna grab both ends and pull on it, you're putting stress on the places you're pinching and pulling.

You're not necessarily stretching the ball.

- [Rosebud] Okay.

- But if you lay your hand on that ball and push on it, you're stretching it, but there's no stress on the end.

So, you mentioned you get a lot of pain down your right hip side.

There's a muscle that runs down the side called the IT band, iliotibial band.

It just kinda comes from your back, down- - Okay.

- And it attaches to your tibia, which is your shin.

It doesn't naturally stretch.

If you were just to try to just lay your leg out, and take your hand and just push into that muscle, and just think of it like a little stripe down the center, and a stripe down to one side, a stripe down the other.

It's like when you're messing with the dough, maybe before you start making your biscuits.

And when you get done, if it's a little bit lengthened, it won't pull so hard back here where you're feeling bad.

- Okay.

- And then the other type of stretching I had mentioned, is active and passive.

So, a passive stretch, that's what I was talking about when you take that ball and you pull on it, the ball's not stretching, you are trying to pull on it, so is passive.

So that's kind of what happens when you throw your foot up on something, and you lean over and you pull on your toe.

You're trying to stretch your hamstring, but it doesn't know you're stretching, it thinks that you're just pulling on it.

It may guard itself and not release.

Active stretching, is where you tell that hamstring to release.

So, let's just stand up and work on a couple stretches.

When you go to stretch... Go ahead and try that one time.

Your body goes up.

What did both our shirts just do?

- Lift.

- They lifted, right?

Our body lengthened, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- So, instead of going up here and pulling on the muscle, lift your body up with it, stretch your body, so you're not just pulling, but your body understands what it's doing and it'll release.

Any of those kind of stretches, instead of just pulling your arm over and stretch, you use the word reach.

And when you think reach, your body goes, "Oh, well, we know how to do that," and you'll get more stretch out of it.

So we got stretching down.

- Cool, yeah.

- We're coming back to dancing.

[Rosebud laughs] What you really need to do is find a way to move your body.

Your body gets used to doing these same movements, and it needs some variety.

Indigenous dancing, there's a lot of variety.

There's movement in that.

- Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

- And you're doing such a great job with bringing your ancestry to the forefront.

I'm gonna hold you to that a little bit and say- - Well, the last time we were pulling weeds, my brother and I had some of our music playing and we were both doing little moves out there.

- Yeah.

- Just a little bit.

- That's all it takes.

You can find time for yourself, if you can make it fun.

- You need to call me, get up, move it.

[laughs] - You know what?

You just gave me permission to do that.

- I did.

- So don't be saying, 'What do you want?"

- I'm gonna ignore you.

[both laughing loudly] - So what I'd like to do, is I'm gonna come back in four weeks, and I would really like you to just take some of the stuff we talked about, and see if you can make it work for yourself.

I want you to take care of yourself so you can help others.

Everything you're trying to do, you'll do better.

- Right.

- We have a deal?

- We have a deal.

[laughs] - Can we hug on it?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Today was so wonderful, it was so great to spend time with you Rosebud.

- I'm glad that you guys are here.

- And learning about the way you garden really has made me feel that I would love to connect to the soil and to my plants in a deeper way like you do.

- Yeah, you just get that hearing her talk, it's like, I wanna do that.

It's what I think maybe most people are craving and you don't know how to touch it, you don't know what it is.

- That is exactly what we're doing.

- And now you have to let Jeff's fixes heal you even more.

- Every day.

- I'm gonna, "Send me all the good vibes, lets do it."

- He will, he will.

- We have a deal.

- Yeah.

- I think that's wonderful.

- Yeah.

- I couldn't help with thinking while you were fixing Rosebud, that I still get tight from gardening, and I know all gardeners have similar issues.

- Stretching is a universal problem.

Knowing how to stretch, knowing what to stretch, finding time to stretch.

- And I find that same places get tight.

My hamstrings and my calves get tight, my shoulders and my chest get tight, and my mid back gets tight just like the way you were working with Rosebud.

- Okay, well, let's address those one by one.

- Okay.

- Find some stretches to alleviate, and also try to incorporate that into how gardeners could make good use of this.

- Okay.

- But first of all, I'm gonna show you something.

I got a text from Rosebud, I got in touch with her and she sent me a text back says, "Listening to music, stretching while I make sugar."

- That is so great Jeff, it's wonderful that Rosebud is stretching all the time.

- Yeah, she got it.

- She did, yes.

- So now as far as the hamstrings go, the best success I've had with those is incorporating a little bit of passive stretching and active stretching together.

The boxes are all stacked up here, so like I said, just go ahead and just toss your leg up there gently, it's a high stretch.

- It is.

- Yeah, so now, feel that stretch.

- I do.

- You got the stretch there in your hamstring.

- Right, it's tight.

- And it's a little tight.

- Yeah.

- It's tight, and this is a really harsh stretch for it and it's passive, you're just pulling on it.

- Right.

- Doesn't even know what's going on, it's just being pulled on.

- Right.

- Right?

So, let's take that off really gently.

I'm gonna take the box down.

Now, we'll still have a stretch, but what I want you to do is a lighter, passive stretch, not as dynamic as that.

So go ahead and toss your leg up here.

Now, nice light stretch, feel the same stretch- - Same stretch.

- But not as much, right?

- Yes, not as stretch.

- So what we can do is turn this into an active stretch.

Now you want to contract the opposing muscle, which is?

- My Quad.

- Right, so contract the quad, the hamstring is actively releasing.

Now, it's imperative that the quad stays contracted.

So, it's gonna slip away sometimes, it's gonna soften up, so the best little trick I came up with is take your fingertips, dig 'em into the muscle.

And you can feel that it's active, you can feel that it's contracted, right?

As long as it's contracted, you're getting a very safe active stretch out of your hamstring, so you want to keep it contracted.

And you mentioned your calves?

- Right.

- So if you pull this foot back really hard, you just contracted all the muscles down the front of your shin, and the opposing muscles to these are?

- My calves.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- So as long as you stay contracted all the way down here, the back side of your leg, your calves and your hamstrings are releasing actively, very safe stretch.

Now, a stretch is very similar.

See how you're standing there when you're bend about 90 degrees?

A very similar stretch to that is this.

So if I just put my foot out, pull my toe back, lean over, here's the 90 degrees and I can just- - You can feel that.

- Dig in those quads.

Yeah, and there's a nice active stretch calf and hamstring, and I can do the same thing to the other side.

- It's very cool, 'cause this I could do anytime in the garden, anybody could.

- Anywhere, any place, anytime, yeah.

Now let's address your shoulder and your chest, all right?

- Okay.

- So, this is an easy one, because your body already knows how to do this, you're already doing this one probably almost every day.

What's something everybody does when they wake up in morning.

- I yawn.

- Exactly, freeze right there, right?

- Yawning, what's going on in your back.

- My back is contracting.

- It's contracting, if you're contracting your back, what's going on with your chest?

- It's releasing.

- It's released, good, active stretching across the chest and the shoulder, so there you go.

- Sometimes when I'm in the garden working, I do stretch like that, I kind of yawn, and I just feel like I wanna embrace my entire garden, it's such a great feeling.

- Well, there you go.

And you can do that anywhere, anytime too.

- Absolutely.

- Let's go check in on Rosebud.

- Okay.

[upbeat music] - [Madeline] We're back.

- [Jeff] Yes we are, I cannot wait to see Rosebud - Me too.

- She's so... Hey.

- Hi.

- Rosebud.

[Madeline laughing] - [Rosebud] It feels like it's been a really time.

- [Madeline] Too long.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- [Jeff] So, yeah- - [Madeline] How are you?

- Good, really good.

- You look happy.

- I feel happy, well, you both are here.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- I'm happy that you're here.

[laughs] - So, I'm dying here, how are the stretches working?

- Amazing, I loved when you said, "Just stretch whenever you want, wherever you are."

- Yeah.

- And your voice is in my head now.

- Oh, perfect, perfect.

- So, literally, I start to feel kind of achy and then I'm like, "Okay, it's time to stretch."

- Isn't that great?

- That's great.

- It's like a new life.

- Yeah, we're getting another one of this.

- It was so nice to hear that.

- I'm a work in progress.

- Yeah, we all are.

- Just like my garden.

[ladies laughing] - We all are right up to the last breath, that's what we are.

- Your garden has progressed.

I mean, it look now the beans are growing on the cornstalks.

- I know.

- Yeah, look at that.

- These pretty little ladies.

- Yeah, just like you said, they just wound right up.

- Yeah.

- They did.

- And the squash is doing her job to suppress the weeds.

- So the three sisters are happy together.

- Yeah.

- They're happy.

- Can we go see what you've done with your turtle?

- Sure, yeah.

- Oh yeah, the turtle.

- She's taken shape.

- She has my goodness.

- Head poking out.

- I do.

- Look at that.

- How'd you get all this work done since we've been here.

- Lots of help.

The intention of the space was always to bring community out.

We had all the kids out here hauling rocks, and it was just awesome to see it take shape this way.

- Is this really special?

- Yeah.

- So now that you're here, you're part of our community too.

- Oh.

- Do you know what that means?

- What does that- - You're gonna get your hands a little dirty.

- Oh, good.

- Okay.

- Very good for Jeff.

- All right, I'm ready, let's go.

- Let's do it.

- Okay.

- What do you got for us?

- What do you got for us?

- We're gonna harvest some corn today.

- So the baskets are ours?

- Yep.

- We're gonna put us to work.

- So, you just gonna grab it here, and give it a little twist, and then we're just gonna throw it in the basket.

- Oh.

- We're gonna grab as many as we can, all of these are ready.

[upbeat music] - And you can sell this to the kids, it's fun.

- [Rosebud laughs] I try.

Doesn't always work.

[upbeat music] Jeff, you got room in your basket.

- No, I'm getting full.

I think I'm gonna have to go trade in for a bigger basket.

- This is like a dumbbell worth of corn.

- All our hard work is sitting right here.

- Yeah, well, I had to bring out our expert.

[laughs] This is my brother and his name's Blue.

- Hey Blue, Jeff.

- He's farmer here.

- That's nice to meet you.

- Madeline.

- Madeline.

Very nice to meet you.

- Glad to meet you.

- But I wanted to bring him out, so he could show us his skill and technique, and he's better.

- Yeah, we wanna learn.

- He have been doing all the braids here, since we've been here.

So, we're gonna get a little dirty, you wanna throw your hair up?

- All right.

- I think you should.

- I'm going love still.

- I'm gonna go high.

- Okay.

- They have this thing.

- Oh, I see, okay.

- So take it away Blue.

- Okay, so the first thing you're gonna look for, is the inner three husks.

So that's about what you're looking at right there, that's one strand of hair, and anybody who's braided before, you need three.

So the first one, you basically just tie in a simple knot, and then you're gonna add that in there.

Traditionally, you want at least 40 cobs on a braid.

- So your fingers are gonna get really tired.

You're working the whole time.

You've got some forearms brother.

This is like a new exercise to do with my clients in the gym.

- So that's about where you want it.

Then I bunch it together just like hair, wrap it over this way.

- Oh, that's so cool.

- Moment of truth.

- Wow!

- Oh, wow!

[clapping] Bravo!

- That's great man.

- I think that's fabulous.

- It's all done.

- Look at that.

- Look how pretty it is.

- Feel like the proud papa.

[all laughing] - Yeah.

- Also just nice and casual, goes over the shoulder.

[ladies laughing] - [Jeff] There you go.

- [Madeline] It's like a handbag like that.

So Rosebud, what are you doing here?

- So, this is sweet corn, and this is something that we harvested at one of our other tribal farms here, and what they do to preserve this corn, and this was born out of necessity.

Ugly parts of history have forced tribal community off of their land.

There was a fire in one of the neighboring communities here, and when they came back, all their crops were down, but they noticed that this corn, it still lasted.

- It preserved it.

- And it preserved itself.

- Oh.

- How cool is that.

- So, they call this scorch corn.

I like to get it a little black, let it dry overnight, and then you cut the corn off, and then you can lay it flat.

We've got drying screens.

And then you can keep rehydrating it or eat it dry like that.

We like to throw it in soups.

- We're gonna have to come back and have that corn soup.

- Yeah.

[laughs] - You keep be talking about all this great food.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, we gotta have some.

I'm glad, it's always an honor to have fun folks come out and take interest in what we're doing.

Our life goal is to just keep revitalizing these traditional food ways, find ways to heal ourselves and be healthy.

I mean, health looks lots of different ways for every different person.

So, that's what that's all about.

- This has been really special, I can speak for both of us.

We've learned so much, and we've been talking about our first visit here a lot.

The best part about this is that you allowed us to be part of your community.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

And we are gonna come back, promise.

- Yeah, I would love that.

- Or you come visit us.

- Sure, we're gonna have to dress a little differently, it's gonna be cold by the time all that corn's ready.

- [Blue] Oh yeah, all the way.

- [Madeline] That would be fun.

- [Rosebud] This is so great.

- [Madeline] Can't wait to come back.
