 A wonderful time today at Wild Hare pumpkin farm. Our students experienced harvest on a real working farm. They rode in a cart filled with hay pulled by a tractor, fed purple Kale to hungry chickens and a rooster, harvested apples from apple trees, pulled radishes out of the ground and picked a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. They smelled fresh celery being harvested by farmers and fennel that smelled just like licorice. They heard the sounds of animals, people and machines and fed cottonwood leaves to Jack, the hungry goat. We were so lucky that the rain held off until we were lunching inside the green house! A feast for the senses and a great first hand look at Harvest in the Northwest.
