Reading, Writing, and Arugula

9th Grade environmental science students taking notes, trying the radishes, and learning about Real Foods Farms in May 2015.

We were studying the nitrogen cycle and agriculture at the time. On the farm we focused on their nitrogen management practices ( composting, legume cover crops, and a bioswale ) and then planted the Native American trio of the 3 Sisters ( corn, beans and squash) which is both nutritionally and ecologically sustainable. ( FS donated the seeds and seedlings )
