 The Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College invited Master Gardener Volunteers and staff of UW-Extension to participate in their Family Farm Day. We highlighted the importance of soil with hands-on activities and various examples of soil and a 3-D topographical map of Wisconsin.
Over 200 pounds of squash and tomatoes were given away to families attending the event thanks to the Spooner Agriculture Research Station and the Seed to Kitchen organic vegetable research project. We also brought sage herbs ready to be planted. Sage is one of the four sacred Native American medicines. Sage is used to prepare people for ceremonies and teachings. It is also used for cleansing homes and sacred items. The sage planting was appreciated and of interest with both young and old in the Community with 50 people attending.
