On Saturday, October 4 Montalvin took a study trip to Full Belly Farms in Guinda, CA. It was an incredible opportunity for about 60 students, staff, and community members and all made possible by the generosity of Full Belly Farms and Cliff Bars. We were able to learn about farm life and the amazing organic produce a local California farm has to offer! Our visit coincided with the annual Hoes Down Harvest Festival and we were able to enjoy amazing activities, like how to cook pizza, learning about farm animal life, and making pottery art. All in all we realized all the hard work that goes into producing great vegetables and fruits! Check out all the pictures of the fun we had!
