Garden City Harvest 10/3/2012

Garden City Harvest 2012

 
We had the opportunity to visit the public gardens of Garden City Harvest.  This was a wonderful informational tour.  I learned a lot of things, for example the majority of their crops go to the local Poverello Center.  You can also rent out your own space for the season for yourself or volunteer in exchange for vegetables. 
 
They had a few chickens and one rooster.  The kids learned that the chickens usually dig for bugs for food and enjoyed watching them strut around.  They also got to "pick" fresh red potatoes and bring them home.  What a treat!

Squash and pumpkins went to CSA shares

By the end the kids had filled the bucket nearly full!
