Tuesday, July 28




Kimberton: This morning we harvested more carrots, weeded and harvested lettuce and washed the dirt off the carrots in preparation for the customers who come today. Today was our last day and it everyone worked very hard.

Sankanac: The group that went to Sankanac twisted the leafy tops off carrots, washed them and harvested beets.

Charlestown: The farm at Charlestown currently has a bad tomato disease called tomato blight, so the people who worked there today attempted to salvage some of the tomatoes, but took the bad ones out. They burned these in an effort to kill the disease so it wouldn't keep spreading. This disease is very disastrous and has threatened their whole crop of tomatoes.

This afternoon one group cooked pancakes (which was the all time favourite...and they were whole wheat!) and the other group talked about money management. The money management group briefly discussed unfair reasons that people get paid less, and also about needless spending and what you really should use your money on.

Mr. Mark got a pleasant surprise today when Robert showed him the lunch he brought: organic peanut butter and jam on whole wheat bread. Robert has really figured out how to eat healthy--and he was willing to share it with you all in this video:
