Students had the opportunity to milk cows and plant seedlings today at Rancho Margot, a fully sustainable working farm. The majority of the food prepared here comes from the farm, including the beef, poultry, pork, all the dairy (milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, butter), vegetables and fruits. Students have enjoyed learning today about the way an organic, sustainable farm functions, and participating in the process. Apologies for some blurry pics, which is due to humidity getting into the camera. Humidity is one thing you cannot avoid in a tropical rain forest ecosystem!
