Year's End Projects

Greetings,

 This week has been busy in SustAg. The end of the year is upon us and currently we are working on a final project and our One bed presentations.

 Our final project was to build something or intern for the farm. I have seen a lot of great things around the farm being made that are sure to be helpful next year. Blaise, Ali, Enzo and Hugo have been painting some beautiful signs for around the farm. I also noticed a nice bench being built. Riley and I have been in the progress of making Dibble boards, boards used for planting with the correct spacing. We made two and think they will be very helpful for next years students. These dibble boards have been a lot of fun to make. The first thing that had to be done was measure out the correct spacing on the wooden boards i purchased from home depot. After making the measurements, it was a matter of cutting, drilling, and gluing in dowels. The boards definitely turned out well and it was satisfying to see hard work turn into a nice looking product that is sure to benefit the farm in the future.

 In other sustag related news this week was sustainability week so it was very cool to see the whole school working together to try and be sustainable. I participated in an after school work day and there were a lot of students there contributing to the farm.

 Today is the last farmers market of the year so i expect a lot of harvesting today in class and hopefully a lot of customers!
