For part of the summer 2012, I had the great honor of working at the UBC Farm. I worked at FarmWonders, the summer camp that runs out of the Children’s Garden. It was quite the experience! Being at the Farm all day everyday was a treat, what a beautiful place to spend the months of good weather.
We did a lot of cool activities with the campers that were meant to engage them with the food system at the Farm. We visited the chickens, prepared a harvest lunch, made jam, built forts in the forest, picked raspberries, the list goes on and on.
