- MORNING:
Kimberton: This morning we mulched the pathways between the peppers with straw, weeded the compost pile and weeded the pathways between the eggplant.
Charlestown: At Charlestown this morning, they weeded onions.
Sankanac: A couple people picked carrots, while another group weeded lettuce.
AFTERNOON: In the afternoon, one group made pizza and the other group drove to different restaurants in Phoenixville to talk to the owners about where they got their food. The owners said for the most part they got their food locally but only a small percentage of it was organic, due to the economic situation in our country. Buying local food is a plus because you know where it came from (and sometimes how the farmer grows the food or if he treats the animals humanely), there aren't as much greenhouse gasses put into the atmosphere by shipping it and it is so much more fresh! Food is considered organic when the farmer does not use pesticides. It is unfortunate that although these restaurants would love to be selling organic food, they can't because of the expense.
To make the pizza we cut up vegetables and grated cheese to put on our own little pizza. Everyone tried something on their pizza they hadn't tried before. It was a huge hit!
