The Hawthorne Middle School Garden club went on a trip to Bowman Farms to see how the process that organic produce is grown, harvested and cared for. Students had an amazing time learning what goes into the process of making food for the local populace. This is what the students had to say about their experience.
“We went to Bowman farms, a farm that grows food for our community. They had a wide variety of plants, and we got to taste them. We learned a lot about the process of growing plants and why they are important. The farm owners, Matthew and Charelle say that they enjoy farming because they like to know where their food that they eat comes from.” -Emilee Carr
“I learned that it takes time to get work done, and you can’t just accomplish everything in one day.” - Soliscity Daves
“We learned how to tell between a male and a female plant on a squash vine.” - Jackson Lyon
“It was fun. We learned a lot about farm life.”-Kylie Knudsen
“Raw onions from the ground are not very tasty. I tried one myself, and it was not very pleasant.” Dezara Stoddart
