We took last week off at the farm to spend time with one of our member's girl scout troops. We had a great time with questions and answers from both sides of our time together. It is always a pleasure to teach the next generation about how there food is produced and the importance of farming. I had a great time educating about our farm, organic produce, chickens, loquats, parts of a plant, life cycle of crops, harvesting seeds, harvesting produce, drip tubes, planting bean seeds, tasting fresh mint, among other topics. I learned that girls scouts really like eating fresh carrots and they do not like mint. It was also a good break for the spring/summer crops to put some growth on to finish out the season. We also tried to release two chicks that one of our member's friends needed a home for. We let the scouts name them. They aptly named them Daisy and Brownie. We had to remove the chicks before we left the farm. The were being hen pecked and trying desperately to escape. Here are some pictures from our day. Thanks to all the young ladies for taking time to learn what Steed Farms is all about. Thanks for the pictures from our member Jackie.

I have to say Shawn that is one heck of a hat you have there!!
It is my authentic Peruvian mountian hat brought back from a missionary customer of ours. It is a little large but boy does it block the sun.
