L.O.V.E. at Newton Community Farm

Our first mother/daughter volunteer outing was at Newton Community Farm. It was a crisp cold day for the L.O.V.E. group (League of Volunteer Enthusiasts) but the girls had a ball and did some good work too!

Stocking the farmstand with pumpkins.

After a tour and climb on the compost heap, the girls were thrilled to pick some carrots.

Farmer Greg showing the group how to wash and rinse the apples. The water was so cold! In typical Newton fashion, he's the town farmer with a PhD in ethics.

The girls shucked dried popcorn cobs and got a special lesson from Farmer Greg.

It was a fabulous time and everyone was very excited for our next outing at the food pantry.
