Field trip to Downtown Farn - April 12, 2012

Montessori at Hampstead elementary classes took a field trip to the Downtown Farm in Montgomery, AL

Arriving at the Downtown Farm - across the street from the newspaper.

Montessori Farmers, teachers and chaperones tasting fresh kale while Farmer Edwin and Farmer Jetson supervise

Taking loose straw to be composted

Time out to watch the train and clearing beds for more plants

Planting basil starts

Water gently till they drip

Getting ready to head home

Class at the farm

First it was a dream, then it was a concept, now it’s a reality. The Montessori School at Hampstead has incorporated a farm-to-table class into their curriculum. Working with the Hampstead Institute under the leadership of Edwin Marty, the students at MSH meet once a week in the barn at the Hampstead community on the outskirts of Montgomery, AL. In typical Montessori fashion, they learn in a holistic fashion. Science, biology, chemistry, botany, among other subjects, all come together as they experiment with soil, plant seeds, clear beds of weeds, compost, harvest produce, and even cook at one of the community restaurants with the vegetables and herbs they harvest. Each week one of the students will talk about what they did and what he or she learned. Join us.
