The Market Day

The market day, the day to show off all of our beautiful work. Today as in Friday January 30th, we in most areas stripped our beds clean so that we could sell our goods for this market day. We harvested a huge amount of kale and radish. We had to work in big groups to come up with all the kale and radish grown in our garden beds. We also harvested lettuce leaves and basically anything else that was ready to be plucked. With harvesting there is also weighing the plants so we know how well we are doing and how much we are going to sell to our customers.  The kale weighed up to an outstanding 9 lbs. That's a very good amount for a plant.

Catnip, plant seedlings and chard along with many other plants gathered on our farm were sold to parents and kids and even some teachers during 7th period, and a bit after school. It was a frenzy when it was time for parents to  pick their kids up. We were such a attractive group of kids no way a parent could drive past us without asking us what we were doing or buying some of our items.

It was a great week for Redwood High Schools Sustainable Farm and I hope that we have enough great week next week for our first week in FEBRUARY.
