The incredible accumulation of energy inputted into the 12 acres of Grange Farm School programming and growth finally culminated in a LAUNCH on June 1, 2015!
One very short month has zipped by since welcoming of the new class of students; and boy have we been busy!
In the first week we covered Ecology, Holistic Management, Nuts and Bolts, (Scratching the surface of) Soil Science, Blogging, and Animal Anatomy! A theme we come back to again and again is that diversity is key, observation and questioning are skills of great importance, and that a holistic view of the whole picture is the most successful angle for decision making.
Our second, third, and fourth weeks have been packed full of work on infrastructure, developing a smooth livestock process and understanding animal behavior, maintaining and harvesting our summer garden, irrigation and plumbing, small engine repair, the basics of running a farm business, history of and modern agricultural systems… the list goes on!
