Zephyr Farm Adventures
/On Monday we took a field trip to Zephyr Farm to learn more about the crops that grow in Oregon. Farmer Bryan gave us a tour of his farm and allowed students to examine and taste a wide variety of crops. We got to try fennel, watermelon, black radishes, strawberries, broccoli, kale, ground cherries, bell peppers, poblano peppers, and leeks. I was impressed with students’ willingness to try new foods. Each student also got to pick a pumpkin to bring back to school for some upcoming science, art, and math explorations. A huge thank you to Mark for documenting our farm adventures and to Farmer Bryan for hosting us!
