Farmer Jared brought in all these spice plants for the kids to smell and look at. He taught them how you can use them in cooking so they can take that advice and use it in their recipes.

Time to relax! During this rainy day our lovely volunteer, Kathy taught everyone yoga. They even learned about photosynthesis as they did yoga! Before yoga, everyone got a cute planter pot to decorate and planted seeds of their choice.

As a rainy day game, campers had cards with different crops, advertisements and more then they were given props to explain everything!

Campers learned the difference between all the many spices Tollgate has growing! They went off to the CSA field to harvest any more ingredients they need for the recipes they're prepping in the afternoon!

Everyone was hard at work with making their dishes they will cook and serve tomorrow! This did cause some stress since they felt like it was a lot. I know they will power through and make the best dishes!

Shaken Ice Cream

We made ice cream the old fashioned way today! Every pepper group was determined to shake shake shake their ice cream. A lot of it turned out so well, and thick. Even the stewards/sits and EDU Leaders joined in!
