Return to Sunbury Urban Farm!

On the chilly morning of November 16th, the students of Avicenna Preparatory School embarked on an educational journey to Sunbury Urban Farm. Nestled in the heart of our community, this remarkable farm is a beacon of knowledge and inspiration when it comes to agriculture, nutrition, sustainability, and environmental awareness.
The students were greeted by the passionate farmers and educators who run the farm, eager to share their expertise and love for the earth. The essence of fall and winter gardening quickly unfolded as students were guided through the farm's lush greenery and vibrant beds of vegetables.
With gloved hands and curious minds, our students rolled up their sleeves and enthusiastically participated in planting winter crops such as garlic, chives., leafy greens and root vegetables. Under the watchful guidance of the farm's experts, they learned the intricacies of farming, from preparing the soil to delicately tucking the bulbs into the earth. Their laughter and shared excitement filled the crisp air, as they felt the satisfaction of contributing to the nourishment of our community.
Midway through the day, an alluring aroma wafted from the farm's outdoor kitchen, capturing the students' attention. With the ingredients they had gathered from the farm, our students contributed their creativity to create a delicious garden salad. This moment served as a reminder that the journey from seed to plate is a transformative process that cultivates appreciation for healthy, sustainable food.
The experience at Sunbury Urban Farm left an indelible mark on our young learners. They departed with an enriched understanding of the vital role agriculture plays in our lives, the importance of nutrition, and the urgency of sustainability. The value of the environment and its delicate interconnectedness with our everyday choices echoed in their hearts and minds.
As Avicenna Preparatory School continues to educate and inspire its students, we gratefully acknowledge the Sunbury Urban Farm for opening its doors and providing this invaluable opportunity for our community. Together, we can forge a future where agriculture, nutrition, sustainability, and environmental awareness thrive, nurturing a healthier and more harmonious world for generations to come.
