Last Friday, October 23rd, we had our third market day of the school year. Just in time for Halloween! We sold lots of produce grown on our farm.

During class time on Friday we spent time prepping for the market by harvesting and sorting food made on the farm as well as making signs and organizing everything as needed. During seventh period and after school we began selling our fresh and organic produce.
We sold decorative Indian corn for the upcoming holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving) as well of tons of other goodies. We had an excellent selection of squash harvested from the farm as well as fresh basil, cilantro, and catnip many students spent class time harvesting just hours before.
We set up a table displaying our organic selection as well as signs with names and prices of the crops. We set out a sign near the entrance of the school to advertise the market we had going on. Some students went around into the classrooms of available teachers offering the delicious and freshly picked foods we had for sale. Parents picking up students and students themselves even stopped by to get in on the action.
In total we raised about $170! Good job to everyone who helped make it successful.
