This week on the farm we worked on our management jobs and did a special Iron Chef competition. Monday we spent our time in the classroom instead of going to the marsh due to the weather. We were lucky to have David Peterson of the Marin Bee-Keepers association come in and talk to our class about the importance of bees as pollinators. We learned that up to 1/3 of the food we eat us pollinated by honeybees.
Tuesday we spent time choosing our companion report plant or animal and working on our learning report for our 3rd management job. The, on Wednesday, we spent 15 minutes in the farm carefully selecting our sustainable food to use in the Iron Chef completion. My team was a close runner-up, barely defeated by a spicy, zesty Mexican breakfast cooked with 100% organic and sustainable food. We prepared a wonderful, balanced meal with sautéed chard, sweet mashed potatoes, and a nice arugula salad topped with strawberries. On Friday, we will finish up or management jobs for the 3rd rotation and water our one beds.
We were very sustainable on our farm and this week was a great representation of the kinds of food our farm produces and how successful we have become.
