Our class got to see how the compost from our school becomes rich soil. Mr. Hudek showed our class how the use of wood chips, leaves, manure, and compost becomes rich soil. He even turned some of the huge piles with his bucket loader to show us that it gets hot, very hot, (160 degrees). We got to pick out pumpkins and painted them in the green house and then listen to a story over a glass of freshly pressed cider and fresh apples. We saw how a hand crank machine can take dried corn off the cob in seconds.
We also traveled to Price Chopper to learn how food is processed into the products we buy. We visited the bakery, meat, and seafood departments and every student got to become a check out person. It was a very enlightening experience!!
