Farm Squad students explored their gardens for different plant parts they eat such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit. 🫛🥒
They were so excited to taste fresh vegetables from @frontierfarmri 🧑🌾
If you want fresh produce from @frontierfarmri or flowers from @echo_rock_flowers stop by the Barlow Farm Stand on Thursdays and Fridays from 3-6pm! 🍅...
Some highlights from our first week of Farm Squad🧑🌾
WPS Elementary Students will help maintain a vegetable and pollinator garden throughout the summer to explore topics such as soil health, water quality, biodiversity, pollination, and more. 🍓
Many of the students have never had some of the crops that are growing in the garden like peas, zucchini, nasturtium, tomatoes, so we are excited for them to try new things! 🥒
