Here is a list of things that could be done around the Farm this week. Also, in celebration of no school, let's have a work party this friday afternoon. We could start with a potluck lunch at noon, and move into all kinds of good fun work (see below). If you want to work before then, don't be shy, go by the farm and get your paws dirty with simple stuff like weeding, or try some of these tasks.
