Urban Farm

Ella's class had some visits earlier in the year from the people that run the Urban Farm in Columbia.  They worked with them in the outdoor classroom at their school then invited them to come see the Urban Farm in the center of Columbia.  The kids learned about the farm, some of the vegetables they grow and the lifecycle of many plants.  They were also able to help prepare lunch.  They harvested spinach, peeled and cut carrots, peeled oranges and sliced bread.  After their work they were able to enjoy lunch with their friends.  It was a great morning!
