Last summer, our Cooperative Community Fund committee awarded a grant to TABLE for a new program called “On the Go.” The grant was used on Saturday, October 10, when TABLE took a group of elementary-schoolers to Maple View Farm. The children played games in the fields and ate a healthy lunch; even before the planned farm activites, they were saying what a great day it was.
The afternoon consisted of making “Mike Wazowski” apples, attending classes about autumn and about running a dairy farm, visiting animals, learning about dairy-farming, and going on a hayride. They ended the day with an ice cream treat and were allowed to pick out pumpkins to take home.
