We're in Edible Magazine!

Edible Magazine has been a leader in the local food movement for a long time. There are more than 90 local Edible magazines and websites across the U.S. and Canada. Their articles teach us how to cook, eat, and drink like a local. We were thrilled when asked by Edible DFW for an interview about our school farm. We think that you will love it to. Follow this link, or pick up a copy at your favorite local grocer, farmers market or restaurant. Thanks Edible DFW for the opportunity to shine in our community! #EIEIO.., It's off to school to grow!

 

Fall Planting - We love it!

In the Fall, the first thing that our students dig into is getting the gardens ready to plant and when that is done, we plant. This week, that is just what we did. Into the ground went transplants of broccoli, cauliflower, swiss chard, kale, and lettuce. We used planting grids and sowed seeds of radish, beets, rutabaga, carrots, lettuce, and leeks. This time of year, when the weather starts to shift, the growing is easier. We water and weed and apply "Rabbit Scram" to keep the cute but pesky bunnies out. With a little luck in about 6 weeks, we should begin to harvest. Ask the Moss Haven Farm kids about what they planted and what they learned on the farm this week. 

It’s September - Back on the Farm

Farming in Texas teaches many lessons. This time of the year, we deal with weather and pests while we plant our Fall crops. The kids are headed back to the farm for weekly lessons that tie into their classroom lessons and allow them to practice those skills in a real world outdoor environment. This farmer is ready to head back, dig in and connect my farm friends to the dirt! Ask your kiddos what they learned this week on the farm and maybe you will learn a thing or two. E I E I O..., its off to school to grow!
