Together we explored 1.5 miles of nature trails and spotted turkey tail mushrooms and wood rat nests along the way. We foraged plant press specimens, tasted miner's lettuce straight from the earth, and learned to identify poison oak like seasoned naturalists. Back at the farm, campers used red-cabbage-dyed filters as pH indicators to explore acids and bases — and turned their results into a beautiful decorative bunting. We tackled a farm-nature scavenger hunt, shook our own butter for a snack, got some quality time with the most adorable donkeys, built plant presses to take home, and yes — we absolutely concocted a legendary mud stew.
