Nadia's Diary
What we did: Today we de-wormed sheep.
Oops! Since Turner Farm deworms their sheep the sheep are not organic. The farmers at Turner Farm deworm their sheep because, even though they won't be organic, the farmers believe they will be healthier. |
We had to herd the sheep into a field. Then we gave them medicine to stop them from getting worms. We also fed the chickens and the pigs. We planted buckwheat in a big field to feed the horses.
What we learned: There are potatoes of all colors of the rainbow except for orange. The green potatoes are poisonous. They turn poisonous when a potato sticks out of the ground. When the sun hits it, it turns green and poisonous.
What I liked most: I liked collecting potatoes. We watched the farmer uproot the potatoes. He used a big, horse-drawn machine with many-sized scoops to dig up the potatoes. I got to keep four big ‘tators.
What I liked least: I did not like herding the sheep. I had to wait in the hot sun. I blocked the sheep from a road, but two sheep went in the wrong direction, making loud baa’s. Another camper and I had to round them back up.
