Harvest 2 Table Farm School was busy this past year (2023), from planting seeds to nurturing and harvesting edible crops that enhance quality of life. Our preschoolers learned to identify crops by name, pick crops place them in their bucket, and count crops up to 30. A few types of crops consist of squash, green beans, corn, cucumbers,  black eye peas, cucumber melons, purple hull peas, lima beans, collards, turnips, and mustards, sweet potatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe.  We can't forget the herbs, such as oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, and lemon balm.

 

This winter we have attempted to grow crops in our greenhouse.  Collards, chard, mustards, kale lettuce, celery, and spinach will have the opportunity to show us how they can grow in our greenhouse.  

​

We couldn't operate this farm without the help of our owner Payton Sims, Director Kim O'Neal,  and several volunteers, sponsors, and donors.

We appreciate  Richard Love, Eathel Leslie, Vi Biddle, Mary Simon, Brittany David, Antoine and Veronica Crute, Payton Sims III, Paul Sims, Ajani Posely Sheila Haywood,  Lydia Cole, Penny Brown, Penny Keene, Sheri Tims, Sam Thomas.

​

  The Madison extension office donated a rain barrel, 12 bags of soil, an irrigation timer, a water hose, and raised bed materials. Home Depot donated a 75% discount on 10 bags of lime and 10 bags of soil. 

We substituted Red the Rooster with Roll Tide Rooster, and he has settled in fairly well thus far. Unfortunately, Sweet Potato Brownie was unexpectedly attacked and she will be missed.

We thank you for your continuous support as we continue to teach Health through Education.
