Thank you PEAS Farm!

We had great weather for our field trip today! 
We started with a picnic at the park... nothing like a little spinning after you eat lunch, right?



 Then we ventured across the bridge to the PEAS Farm.
We learned that the most important thing about the PEAS Farm is that it's a community farm - which means it's for EVERYONE! We thought that was cool!


Jason was our guide. He told us all about the farm.
We had the chance to pet chickens that are a bit older than ours. We couldn't believe how fast they grow!


We got to taste several different things. It was exciting to try new things. Jason told us that if we promised to try the new things, and we didn't like them, it would be okay to spit it out. (Can you imagine how many eager taste testers we had?? THEY ALL DID!)
We tried freshly picked bok choy, kale, mustard leaves and lettuce. We also got to try some carrots and beets. Jason likes to call beets "farm candy" because they are so sweet.





We also got to feed the pigs! They were so cute! We learned that pigs don't really have pink skin... they are actually really pale. They just look pink because they get sunburned, just like us!





What a great day! We are looking forward to our picnic fun on Thursday!
