Yesterday we hosted the 4th and 5th graders of the Friends School. They have a week of field trips related to the food system and we were happy to provide them a place to do some stewardship work. There were groups pulling up tomato stakes, clearing out the hoophouse, potting up plants in the the greenhouse, and improving the animals' environments. It was their first time coming to the Land School, and it was fun to connect with their wonderful staff and students. It was especially fun to compare notes with the greenhouse group about our respective plant sales. It was chilly yesterday and nice to work in the greenhouse, but today was even colder, with a fresh inch of snow.
