Trip to Pennypack Farm

Last week we went to Pennypack Farm and CSA to learn about farming.  The students learned how to plant crops in rows, how the water gets delivered to the plants and got to sample snow peas.  They saw a bee hive, learned about keeping chickens and got to feed the chickens as well.  The best part was an opportunity to do some planting themselves.  They dug, planted, watered and composted in the garden classroom at the farm.  Here are a few photos that highlight our experience.
