City Kids Learn About the Land

摘要

In the Berkshire/Taconic foothills of eastern New York State, Hawthorne Valley Farm is home to 60 dairy cows, a herd of heifers, some piglets and a team of biodynamic farmers. There's also a high-energy bunch of nine-to-15-year-old urbanites cheerfully turning the compost, helping bake sourdough bread in the bakery, milking dairy cows and rising at six a.m. to feed the animals. It's all part of the experience of the Hawthorne Valley Summer Camp and Visiting Students Program, founded with the Steiner School in New York City to build links between kids and the land.
