In this free blog I thought I would talk about my experience volunteering with City Roots. I went there with Abbey, my classmate, and we sent the afternoon weeding, picking flowers, planting, and preparing vegetables for market. I had a blast volunteering there and am thinking about doing an internship there in the fall. After we were done working we got to play with the chickens and that was the hi-light of my week. I got to eat a flower for the first time while I was there. I did not know that certain flowers were edible. It was weird because they tasted exactly how you would think a flower would taste and then they were really spicy after you chewed them.
Before this class I did not know that City Roots
existed. I am so glad that I discovered this farm because it is a wonderful
place to spend time at and organic food is a passion of mine so it is the
perfect place for me to go. I learned a lot about growing food while there and
this was great because it is what I will be doing this summer. I recommend everybody
to go there at least once and see what they have to offer.
