Mother Nature smiled on us by providing a short break from the rain on Friday for our annual Farm Day! Dozens of children, families, staff and community members came together for this fun Farm to School & Early Childhood event. The morning included live animals, games, activities and a picnic lunch made with local food. Children and families enjoyed seed planting, pickle making, chicken and egg, learning about and observing farm animals, playing in a grain-filled sensory bin, creating their own "milk" painting, corn hole and more. Children had the chance to learn where some of their food comes from and try their hands at making some of their own. A HUGE thank you to the families who attended, our creative staff and the amazing community members who made the day truly special - The Farrington Family and their chickens, Clara Howard and her duck and The Mattison Family and their rabbit. Thank you all for sharing your time, animals and knowledge with us!
"Farm to School and Early Childhood connects children with local agriculture through food, education, and community partnerships...The approach supports healthy eating habits, strengthens the local agricultural economy and creates experiential learning opportunities that engage children in understanding where food comes from and how it can improve their bodies and their communities." (Vermont Farm to School & Early Childhood Network)
