On Friday, September 27 our class took a learning journey to O'o Farms and learned so much. I learned how to chop firewood and build a fire: We collected kindling to help start the fire, then made a pyramid shape with the logs so the air could flow through. I learned how to make a great pizza with fresh ingredients from the farm. It was delicious! Our whole class then went to sleep together in a yurt. In the morning we got up to see the sun rise. We all helped to make breakfast and we made another fire. Then we took a tour of how O'o Farms creates coffee from the plant to the cup. Afterwards we learned about good and bad insects (good: parasitic wasps & ladybugs) (bad: slugs, moths, snails) The parasitic wasps eat the bad bugs and luckily there were a ton of them around the farm (a 4:1 ratio). Then we sadly got in our cars and headed home.
