Farm Camp 7/14

As the day started to heat up another successful day of camp came to a close. Our farmers for a week and our garden explorers had a busy day in the learning garden and around the farm. I spent the majority of my day with the farmers for a week, here are some of the things we did today:

• Talked about the life cycles of plants and identified different stages in the learning garden
• Visited the perennial garden
• tasted some raspberries
• harvested some herbs for our snack
• Everyone got to hold a chicken and we collected their eggs
• For snack we made an egg scramble with swiss chard, oregano, thyme, and chives
• we used our solar powered outdoor kitchen to scramble the eggs
• Played seed speculation
• a fun running game the involves figuring out which conditions are best for a seed to grow
• Planted sunflower seeds
• Dissected a squash
• Watered the learning garden
• Played drip-drip-drop

The garden explorers made an egg scramble today also, but theirs had dill, kale, basil, garlic, lambs quarters, purslane, and plantain… delicious!

See everyone tomorrow!
