City Kids - Week 1

The City Kids are back on the farm!!

This week the students saw the whole processes of sugaring from hanging our sap buckets to collecting the sap to tasting fresh maple syrup off the evaporation pan.
They collected a total of about 500gallons of sap!!

On the wildlife side of the farm, with the warm weather, moths were found in the sap buckets,  Finches and Chickadee's were heard singing, and Turkey's were out in the cow pastures.


On the farm itself; Plum, Aubergine, and Huckleberry were moved out to the Heifer Barn and we had 2 baby chicks arrive on Friday!  (More to come next week!!)
