Golden Eagle Charter School came out a couple times this year offering grades K-5th an opportunity to learn how family scale food production is done. They learned how all the animals have their jobs on the farm:
Goats – Landscapes, weed eradicators, providers of meat and milk and lots of fun
Chickens – Compost turners, waste and bug eaters, egg and meat providers
Ducks – Waterway cleaners, bug eaters, and egg providers
Dogs – Farm security and doorbell service
Cat – Rodent control and feed protection patrol
Bees – Pollinators and honey producers
Microbes and other unseen creatures – Work their magic to turn waste to black gold
Humans – Pay the bills, feed and water where necessary, and keep everyone happy
Everyone feeds each other here…One creature’s waste is another’s food and we just keep feeding each other!
“Milking is fun!”
