Today
was our first full day of Farm Stay One. The very first thing we did when we
got up was we were introduced to farm chores. After breakfast, we had a math
work period and then picked our Occupations groups. We accidentally split up by
age groups so the seventh graders are in Facilities Management, where they will be putting
up shelves in the root cellar and building a pizza oven, and the eighth graders
are in the Food Preservation group and will be fermenting and preserving foods. We had a
great introduction to Occupations. Today, the garden group got to prepare
lunch. We ground corn and made it into corn bread, and made chili out of
products from the Land School, along with broccoli, which was harvested from
the garden as well. After lunch we got to act out emergency scenarios so that
we would know what to do in that situation. We then picked our products and
partners for Microeconomy. After a long day, we did our daily chores of
tidying the Homestead and then the dinner crew made the much anticipated tacos
for Taco Tuesday.
