City visitors





Today Sarah and I got to lead a really interesting group of visitors from the Chicago Jesuit Academy. These boys were in summer school and enrolled in a special class that looked at agriculture and sustainability. They have raised their own vegetable garden and even flock of chickens. The trip to Wagner Farm was to better understand how farming was done in the 1920's and then to draw parallels to sustainable practices today.
