In the photo above, Dan teaches about compost before giving students the opportunity to turn the compost pile. About 20 students from Hayward School spent three days on the farm while participating in the sustainability-focused program. On Wednesday they took a tour of the farm, visited Buttermilk Falls, dusk walked in Tewksbury to watch the sunset, and sang ecology-related songs at the campfire. On Thursday and Friday, they participated in group initiatives, learned about CSA farms, our biodynamic practices and prairie restoration, and worked alongside the farmers with educational service learning projects that included mulching potatoes, wrangling Colorado Potato Beetles, and de-rocking the garden beds. We enjoyed their visit!
