A couple of weeks we took a field trip to Bittersweet-Milkweed Collaborative Farm, where we learned all about how their farm runs. One thing we talked a bit about was their composting system which they use to help enrich their soil. By adding compost to your soil, you’re helping the soil retain moisture and nutrients. In addition, compost helps attract beneficial organisms that reduces the needs for pesticides and fertilizers. In addition, compost can also provide food and nutrients for animals.

Happy first day of classes!! This morning a few of the summer interns harvested some sunflowers that were grown over the summer. We had the great pleasure of handing them out to students on campus! We were so happy to see the students walking around and we hope we added a little bit of sunshine to your day!

During this past very hot week the interns traveled to Sam’s own blueberry patch to harvest berries. The berries will be preserved for incoming students, while some will be enjoyed in the next few days- such as in the form of a delicious blueberry buckle!
