With the recent power outages, our new Market Day this month has been moved to Friday, November 8th. This week, we caught up on farm work and prepared to harvest. Items available at the market this week are pumpkins, lettuce, beets, herbs, flowers, kale and more fall crops. These have all been growing on the farm notably. For each piece of produce harvested, it's weight and crop category are recorded. These are kept as records for future reference. We have also focused on companions this week in class. We conducted an Area Search in both the farm and nearby marsh. A few of the organisms recorded in the farm included a falcon, house finches, and geese. Companions in the marsh included egrets, gulls, and ducks. This activity illustrated how our farm works to mimic nature by allowing any and all companions to come and go as they please.
