after finishing summer courses in late july, i was again looking for more volunteering opportunities!
glad to find this at ubc farm! it's a weekly camp; kids joining the camp will do activities and learn stuff related to the topic of the week!
a new addition to my volunteer tees~~~
topic of the week in which I volunteered: FARM POWER!!!
the agenda of the day is on the left... menu for the lunch is on the right!
every friday we had the harvest lunch! little farm wonders and volunteers would harvest veggies from the soil beds in the morning. then we cleaned, cut up, and cooked the veggies together!
"dinning table" set up in the greenhouse! two little farm wonders simon and devon!!
veggies meal~~~~ we had raspberry and blackberry pie + ice-cream for dessert too!!!
our leader mike is making tortillas!!
we grow all sorts of flowers and veggies....
varieties of lettuce and some unknown species....
zuccini!! yellow ones!!!
this is khorabi.... first time knowing them.... they are edible!
pumpkins.... we'll save them for halloween!!
no clue what this is.....
some interesting bits about the group of kids i worked with.... there are two sibling pairs and there are simon and owen in each pair! what a coincidence! we also have a twin pair! omg.... with only 19 kids in the group, this is rather unusual!!!
the ubc farm runs a market every saturday morning.... selling farm produce....
mom and i have been loyal customers.... the veggies are really fresher and tastier than ones you get from supermarkets!!!
