High schoolers at work





You read the headline correctly. This week we actually got a group of students from Deerfield High School to come and work at Wagner Farm. It was a real change of pace for Sarah and I to develop a program of this age group. During the session they got to try their hand at plowing, grinding wheat and make pretzels. We ended the day with an interesting discussion on the issues facing our food supply both from a farmers and consumers view point.
