This morning we hosted four groups of West Marshall 6th graders for a farm tour on Ag Day.

The kids pile off the bus, ready for a farm tour.

I’m not sure what has so captivated everyone’s attention (except Martin’s), but it sure looks interesting!

We set up a hay wagon with all the things we sell at the Farmer’s Market and/or have made for ourselves – dried flowers, bouquets, vegetables, sheepskins, honey and candles, etc.

Linda was miked the whole time and film rolled the entire time the tour was on. The film crew was from Iowa Public Television – we’ll keep you posted when and if we make a program.
We feel good about sharing our farm with the kids – they get to sample real apples and raspberries, see where eggs come from, learn about local food systems and how people on diversified farms plan and manage the interrelationships between crops and animals.
