We visited The Abundance Foundation on one of our field trips in March. Yes, still playing catch-up here! LOL This is a place that educates on sustainability and renewable energy. We had a beautiful day for our tour and loved our time there. We split into 2 groups - younger and older. The younger kids started with the farming area.
We saw things growing outside and also in a greenhouse.
The fun part was actually sampling some of the things grown on the farm!
Everything was incredibly delicious - including a variety of greens!
One of the biggest surprises for most of us was how yummy the salad turnips tasted! Now, I'm not a huge turnip fan, but these were delicious - raw and plain!
Doesn't my little girl look like a big girl tagging along with the other kids?!
So many things were edible.
Including these flowers.
The kids were mostly adventurous in trying a variety of things too!
Can you see the snake hidden in the picture below? He was big and tucked away in one of the green houses. Not necessarily "on the tour" but the kids did enjoy getting a peek at him.
I love pictures from the back. She is so tiny (still) and cute trying to keep up.
Can you tell what this is made from? Take a guess and then read below for the answer.
The staff was wonderful and we spent a delightful day here. I heartily recommend this location for a field trip!

My kids would love that trip! Truthfully, so would I! :) I did not guess that the building was made from straw bales. I once saw a program on how they build them and it was so interesting. I love the giant chess set!
