The last day of our grad retreat found us at Blue Heron farm, located in Rockport. Blue Heron is this amazing farm run by two amazing people that have a contagious enthusiasm for the environment, sustainable agriculture, community farming and the national park. So, Friday morning we all found ourselves wrist deep in fertile organic soil planting various onions that will later be sold at the Skagit Co-op and served at the ELC.
Horse Kisses!

I had a great time and can't wait to go back to the farm again! It was such an amazing experience to plant our own food and recognize the importance of using pesticide free chemicals to ensure that we're putting the healthiest things into our bodies.
