So far they have prepared a bed for and planted carrots, radishes, and beets, taken over the school composting duty, searched for eggs, moved the chicken tractor as needed and walked the perimeter of the farm to collect trash and see how big the farm really is. We also sat in the greenhouse and told rainy day stories on our first rainy day. Pictured below are Misha and Jackson with empty locust shells attached. <br />

A wider I-40 likely means a noisier I-40. It is already difficult to hear each other when we are outdoors at EWS, especially at the farm, because of interstate noise. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">An informal public meeting will be held on June 10 from 4 to 7 pm in the Southern Human Services Center at 2501 Homestead Rd. Chapel Hill, NC. Please come to the meeting to express concerns about noise interference at the school and to request noise abatement along school property. Please don't assume that someone else has got this covered. Please do spread the word! The more people who show up to express concern, the more likely it is that we will see results. Please help us take action for a quieter, more soothing campus!</span></div>

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 11pt;">April 10, 2013– Carrboro, NC</span></b><span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 11pt;"> – On <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1728811911" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday, April 26th</span></span>, beginning at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1728811912" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">8:30 AM</span></span>,
the <a href="http://www.carrborofarmersmarket.com/">Carrboro Farmer's Market</a> will give away farmer-grown tomato
seedlings to kids. Kids will get to pick a seedling of their choice and
plant it in a cup to take home. To help the seedlings get well on
their way to a life of juicy delicious fruit bearing, Fifth Season
Gardening Company will be providing organic potting soil for the pots as
well as growing tips and useful information for new gardeners.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 11pt;">Kidzu
Children’s Museum and Market volunteers will help kids decorate a label
for their seedling and then help them find and thank the farmer that
donated it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 11pt;">Last
year over 400 young gardeners became proud owners of local tomato
seedlings at this event, and it has become an annual tradition for many
local families. A special thanks to Fifth Season Gardening Company for
their generous support in making the Carrboro Farmers’ Market Annual
Kids’ Seedling Event possible.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 11pt;">This
event is held during the weekend of the Carolina Farm Stewardship
Association’s Piedmont Farm Tour, which features many Carrboro Market
farmers, making it a fun farm-filled weekend for the community. During
the Farm Tour many local farmers open their farms to the public so
visitors can see where their food comes from and how it grows. Some
farms also sell farm products or have special activities for
children.

The children have been training the chickens to love them and coming running to them whenever they show up by bringing food, and by never, ever chasing them. It's working very well. Whenever there are children there are chickens. Some of them are even allowing themselves to be picked up without chasing!<br />
<br />

One of our projects lately has been to sort the enormous wood pile into more usable stacks. Here you can see the children gathered around what remains of the original woodpile with the small brush for burning in the foreground.<br />
<br />

Some of the wood needed to be cut into more manageable lengths with hand saws<br />
<br />

The medium diameter wood got carried to a big pile in the parking lot where Mr. Ostrowski can turn it into wood chips. We'll let the wood chips compost for 6 months to a year and then use them as mulch in the garden.<br />

Most exciting event of all, our farm assistant, Kristin, returned with baby Josh on the outside instead of hidden on the inside! He has the sweetest smile and all of us love it when he shines it our way.<br />

At the end, they had fun putting the fire out with water, and also getting in a group circle to taste broccoli fresh from the garden! One finger up meant they wanted to try broccoli a little and two fingers up meant they liked broccoli a lot! Many realized it tastes a lot fresher than store bought broccoli, with a much different flavor! <br />

The 8th Grade has been busy working on a farm based business making garlic, cheddar, chive biscuit dough from scratch in the school kitchen. They named their business BBBBiscuits! and offered pre-ordered frozen biscuit dough for pick up just before school got out for Christmas. They had to limit sales quite a bit for fear of not being able to keep up with demand. So far they have learned about supply and demand, gross vs. net profits, just how much work it takes to come up with and make a product, bottom line (profit) vs. triple bottom line (profit, social good and environmental good), and more. </div>

Since people often ask me that very question at the market table, I thought I'd post it. He didn't give me the recipe, but it looks to me like he sauteed daikon slices, and shiitake, maybe with a little soy sauce and then threw the avocado chunks in afterward. (He told me there is shiitake in the mix, otherwise I'd never know). Looks tasty!<br />

The 7th Grade finished up their farm experience this semester with a feast featuring food made with ingredients from the farm thus completing the connection between farm and table. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

First we met and chatted briefly about our farm block and what we liked best about it.</div>

When we visit Gustavo, we form a human fence. Each person has a goody to share and he wanders around the circle playing "trick-or-treat". His favorite treats are fresh alfalfa and apples.</div>

Thank you very much to Rula Mouawad for taking the photos in this sampling of what third grade has been up to since school started this fall. Enjoy!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">First a view of some of the work we've done in the garden this fall:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Third grade dad, Dave Swanson, loaned us his broad fork so that the students would be better equipped to prepare beds for planting. A broad fork is a wide, heavy "fork" that can be used to loosen up soil deep down. This group is working the soil for a garlic bed. </div>

Once a bed is thoroughly weeded and the soil loosened deep down, we sift some of the compost we spend all year making. Our compost is made from the food scraps 3rd grade brings down each week in compost buckets from all of the classrooms (including high school and kindergarten), from chicken, bunny and horse manure collected at the farm, from weeds we dig up in the garden and from donations of old, indedible hay given to us by area horse barns.</div>

When a bed is completely ready, we plant either seeds or transplants. Mahea, Michael and Shiva are transplanting lettuce here. So far this year our garden grows sorrel, broccoli, nasturtium, evening primrose, mums, thyme, kale, spinach, chives, shiitake, lettuce, arugula, collards, chard, daikon, carrots, onions, beets, radishes, peas, oats and wheat. We'll soon be planting rye and garlic as well. In mid November planting season ends and we switch our activities to maintenance chores around the farm and doing what we can to protect our crops from cold weather while they overwinter.</div>

The children learn that bug life in the garden is both welcome and necessary to the health of our garden. Early on they learn that there are 5 main types of bug: </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>flesh munchers (horseflies, mosquitoes, ticks, etc.)</li>
<li>plant munchers (squash bugs, japanese beetles, aphids, etc.)</li>
<li>scavengers (earthworms, pillbugs, crickets, daddy long legs, etc.)</li>
<li>pollinators (butterflies, bees, some wasps, etc.)</li>
<li>hunters (spiders, praying mantis, assassin bugs, ladybugs, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In Biodynamic gardening we try to maintain a balance amongst all these types of insects that is most favorable to our plants. A few flesh and plant munchers are OK in the garden because we know that they are a vital part of the web of life. When we get a lot of them, then we try to figure out why and change the environment to keep them from spreading or coming back so easily next year. Another thing we do regularly is sprinkle or spray two kinds of
preparation on the plants and around the garden
to improve the health and vitality of the plants: </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>stinging nettle tea, made by soaking stinging nettle for 24 hours in rain water</li>
<li>milk and honey prep, made by stirring milk, local honey and rain water for 20 minutes</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The nettle tea provides deep nourishment to the plants, strengthening their vitality and helping them to be a little less tasty and tempting to plant munchers. The milk and honey encourages hunters and pollinators to visit the garden and stick around. Below are pictures of Enid, Michael and Shiva spreading the milk and honey prep by sprinkling it over everything with paint brushes.</div>

She spent some time sharing with us what rotational grazing is and how it must be done differently with horses (who need more personal space) than with cows (who prefer to stay bunched together in a herd) and other farm animals. <br />
<br />
At the end of class we walked the pastures to see how much variety there is in what looks like a field of grass from a distance. Our pastures have improved considerably since Nancy started experimenting. They look much more lush and green. We still have a long way to go and a lot of weeds to overcome, but we have made an excellent start. <br />
<br />
Pictured below is Ninth grade up in an enormous tree in one of the pastures. It was a truly lovely day!<br />

Annallys Goodwin-Landher, our volunteer bee keeper has been keeping
her bees on our property for several years, but there is a good chance
that she and her bees will soon be moving. She has nominated us to
Toxic Free NC as an entry in their annual beehive giveaway. <br />
<br />
The
community or school garden that gets the most votes will win the hive. Help
us out by checking out <a href="http://www.toxicfreenc.org/saveabee/">their contest site</a> and
clicking on the entry for Emerson Waldorf School Farm. <br />
<br />
Oh, and please share
this link with everyone you know!<br />

Last week, after hearing a story about bees in the classroom, the second grade got to experience them up close and personal! Beekeeper Annallys Goodwin-Landher started by firing up the smoker, first with pine, and then with basil branches and leaves. </div>
