Rocks to Soil: How Geology Builds a Farm
Explore the Farm to learn how it’s uniquely suited to its river valley location, and how weathering and erosion play a part in creating its nutrient rich fields. We’ll explore questions like “what is a rock?” and “what is soil?” Activities include a close up look at the life-giving minerals that are in our soil and food, and a hands-on comparison of several soil samples from the Farm. Students will gain a richer understanding of how geology built our Farm and contributes to the planet’s health.
