Summer is here!

What an exciting end of year it has been. The entire 5th grade spent a day at Backbone Mountain organic farm in Garrett County. The class helped to build a fence around the farm's raspberry field, watched a field being cultivated by draft horses and an early 1900's cultivator, harvested shitake mushroom, ate a farm fresh and produced lunch.

The students had lots of time to share their knowledge with the farmers as well as pick their brains.

The class was very excited o get back and harvest more cool weather crops, strawberries, onions garlic, and sugar-snap peas. they then planted their hot weather crops in Earth Boxes.

Real Food farm had their last farm stand at school and is branching out into the neighborhood as well as other parts of the city to get more local, seasonal, organic food into the hands of Baltimore Residents. be sure to look them up and visit one of their stands this summer!
