Students from Pitzer College and Ontario High School came to Our School at Blair Grocery to learn more about sustainable farming, New Orleans, and whats going on at OSBG. While here, the students have been working in the garden: building a new hoop house, planting, creating a new compost pile, harvesting sprouts, and mulching the beds. They have had the chance to learn from students, staff, and the interns here at OSBG. Each evening they have held discussions on food justice, gender, race, class, and power dynamics in todays society.
Today, there was a field trip to the Gotreaux Family Farm (www.gofamilyfarms.com). We went to learn different farming techniques such as aqua-farming, where the farm harvests tilapia fish for local markets. Thanks to Brian, Dawn and the kids for sharing their time with us!
We have had a blast working with everyone at OSBG and hope we can come back soon! Thank you OSBG for an amazing six days!
