Each year on (or around) Earth Day, the outdoor education staff of the Waterloo Region District School Board organizes an event which brings together students from several different schools. This year we visited Steckle Heritage Farm where students learned about the ins and outs of food production. We weeded, composted, planted and cooked. For lunch we enjoyed a great potato soup that students helped to prepare. It was a great day, and everyone left with dirt under their finger nails and a better appreciation of farm life.
