Chickens, Cob and Cornstalks at White Oak Farm

10/20/2021

Ruch Outdoor Community School is starting the 2021-22 school year off with all classes traveling to White Oak Farm for outdoor education field experiences.  This fall, students have enjoyed interacting with farm animals, working in teams to reinforce on-site buildings using natural resources, and digging into the yearly rotation of produce grown at the farm.  

White Oak Farm offers a table during school lunch to give students fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm.  Extra produce is put in front of the school at dismissal time for families to bring home.  In addition to the tabling, White Oak Farm works directly with the Rural Schools Learning Coordinator to design and deliver garden-based lessons for all K-8 students every week at the Ruch School Garden.  These lessons extend learning out of the classroom, adds relevance to the curriculum, and provides opportunities for students to explore personal interests in agricultural practices.
