Teaching the youth how to farm

Today at the farm we welcomed a class of 6 graders to come down. We planted lettuce seedlings, sifted soil, shoveled manure then shared a meal.


They were super enthusiastic to learn where their meal was coming from and to get those hands dirty.

Thanks teacher Jeff for teaching these kids. Your students are welcome back anytime!
