Rainy Morning at the Farm

We had a great trip to Loutet Farm this morning.  We met with Jillian, the farmer, and Amber, a farm volunteer, and learned all about the farm at this time of year.  

We talked about what plants need to grow.


We weeded some chickweed.

We found a special spot in the garden and used our senses to notice different things.

more weeding




we found some "ruby streaks", a type of lettuce that grows at this time of year.  


we were allowed to pick one leaf and have a taste









then the two groups switched and the people who were weeding went to look at the garden and eat some ruby streaks lettuce


and the other group helped weed the garden












It was a pleasure to take this group of kids to the farm.  They were excellent listeners and nobody complained about the rain!
