Farming

Yesterday, I visited a farm with one of my professors and some of my classmates.

The class I visited with is one that is centered around service learning - education via helping the real world survive. My particular class's service learning project is that, this semester, we'll be volunteering at a farm, helping to plant and weed and harvest and whatever else they need.

It'll be hot, really hot, at least for the next month-ish. And it'll be hard.

But I'm cautiously looking forward to it. As long as it doesn't get gross (read: I don't want to touch the glowworms or fish or deal with any of their excretions), hard can be good. It'll be good for me, at least. Getting exercise and sunshine is healthy.

This particular farm deals a lot in veggies and berries and whatever else growable that was mentioned but I forgot. It's all organic, too.

As far as animals go, there are the aforementioned worms and fish. There are also some chickens, I've heard, but I didn't see any on that one trip.

Here's hoping all goes well! =D This post looks somewhat short, but I'mma end it here anyways. Have a great day!
