On Friday May 3rd, we welcomed the 3rd grade classes from Fruit Valley Elementary School to the farm.  We had beautiful sunny weather, and kids eager to get their hands in the soil.  Over thirty students planted almost 200 feet of Yukon Gold potatoes.  This September the same kids will return to the farm to help dig their harvest!
