Fourth Graders Plant Green Peppers

Fourth graders visited Roots Farm on Tuesday, March 24, to experience the full circle of growing—tasting salsa made from peppers planted by last year's fourth graders, then planting a new crop for the class to come. Rotating through four stations, they also learned how bees pollinate flowers, spent time with the chickens and turkeys, and saw firsthand how food goes from seed to table.
