Chef Hassan has been working tirelessly to develop an amazing learning environment in the farm room! Along with Ms. Haynes, Chef Hassan assisted in making pizzas topped with fresh greens from the harvest! Ms. Davis from I Have a Dream Foundation has taken specific care that the plants stay fed with vital nutrients. On Monday, March 28th, due to a suspected power failure, they had lost a harvest due to the pump shutting off sometime over the weekend. However, through hard work, the farm has been growing beautiful greens and beautiful inquiring minds!

GW Carver and Bruce Street Schools have not stopped working hard to learn best practices to develop great systems with their students. Ms. Bello and Ms. Landskroner have been training their students well. Even though there was some inconsistent growth at the last harvest, they have built a clean the farm and have been taught how to spot clogged nozzles. During the most recent harvest, several students helped to change out nozzles for more even watering.
