We took the students to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum today for a field trip about locally grown foods.
They covered squash...
...and corn and wild rice. The kids got to sample.
We talked about apples trees being introduced to Minnesota and bred to grown in this climate. The kids made applesauce.
We also learned about sweet potatoes and how they grow. The kids even got to dig some up and then help make some sweet potato pie.
We got a really beautiful sunny day for the field trip. The first few days of the week were rather November-like in their cloudiness. Today we got some lovely golden November sun. It was a little chilly but not too cold.
