Food Webs

Wow, It's been a while! Happy 2016!

Mr. Hardy probably came around asking what a food web was... I heard many of you don't know! Here is a brief explanation of what one is:

A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.

There you have it!

Cooking Sustainability

Sustainable cooking: Cooking sustainability means cooking with the ingredients that are in season and gown locally. This means you can't make tomato soup in the winter when tomatoes are no longer available. Having to get them from a store, where they come from far away is not, and I repeat is not sustainable cooking! Making something with a potato which IS grown locally and in season is cooking sustainability.

Here are some examples of recipes that are sustainable:

Caramelized Cauliflower by Eric Garske and Jake Montgomery

Weekly Progress at Terra Nova

Mr. Strom comparing two blackberry bulbs to see who dug up the biggest blackberry bulb. 

 Testing the irrigation, it needs a little more work, but it is very close to being done! Hooray! Good job everyone!

Digging up blackberries. Fun fact: Blackberries that turn orange have a serious fungal disease that can not be cured, you should destroy them asap. 

Students harvested peppers in the green house and plants from the outside were moved to the green house so that they wouldn't freeze in the colder weather.

To keep garlic warm during winter and keep weeds out of the beds straw was put over the beds.

Cabbages are getting ready to harvest!

Here you can see students moving plants to the green house and of course people checking on the fake tree.

Students are now learning about different aspects of climate change in groups of two or three. 

Have a good Thanksgiving break everyone!
