Building Community

All students at Moss Haven come to learn and grow with the seasons, on a weekly basis. Many of our lessons are based on grade level science content, but some of the best lessons come from working together with a common goal of keeping our garden growing throughout the year. This week, our friends from Bonnie Plants dropped off some veggie and herb plants. The kids planted more fall crops and then our community came out to spruce up the farm. It was a great week of working with others and caring for the land. Stop by and take a look at all the goodness that we have growing at Moss Haven Farm.

Time to Sow Those Seeds

With cooler temperatures and cleared raised beds, all of the students helped to plant cool season crops this week. In the ground, went carrots, radish, beets, lettuce, swiss chard, and kale. The Kinder friends used seed tape that held carefully spaced seeds, while the other kids planted teeny tiny seeds with care. Look for baby greens to start popping up in a few days. Next week, we plant transplants. The farm will be back in full production real soon. Stop by and see for yourself.

 

Back to the Farm

This week was a busy one at Moss Haven Farm! We enjoyed Master Gardener lessons on Rules and Tools. The kids learned about elements of soil and welcomed 2 new chickens to the coop. Next week we will plant seeds and get the farm back into production mode. It's going to be a great year folks, so make sure that you follow along.
