Dirt is Good for All!

Our weather is very unpredictable this year! A farmer is always watching the weather! Our CSA Members are true investors in Kindred Ground Farm, so you may be monitoring the weather closely too. We have had plenty of rain to help with growth and so we were thankful for the spots of sunshine today! It looks like we have one more day of rain and then four days of sunshine! Our fruits, vegetables, and flowers need both to thrive, but we are excited for more sun!

Kindred Ground Farms loves to share and teach! We always welcome our youngest CSA Members to explore, help harvest, and run in the fields! This year we have a new addition for all our children farmers! We have made a special space to dig in the dirt! We have a dirt hill (about two and a half feet high by three feet wide!) with a backhoe loader, excavator, and, the always essential, dump truck! These toys and the clean dirt will allow children to explore in a multisensory way. Feeling the dirt running through their fingers, scooping and pouring dirt with toys, smelling the fresh air, seeing a working farm surround them are all learning moments. We are excited for lots of fun play on the Kindred Ground Farm Dirt Hill!
