It was an early morning for us today! We headed into town to experience the local farmers' market. Pairs of students were tasked with finding a fruit or food item they have never seen! At the market, students talked with the locals about what it is, how it's grown, and how to prepare and eat it. Then, upon our return to DG, each pair shared with the group what they learned! Our wonderful discussion was led by Ms. Veronica Gordon, a 7th generation Bush Doctor, who shared stories and details about the native fruits and vegetation - and their many medicinal benefits! Incredible questions, incredible stories, incredible moments at Discovery Grove!
Leah & Grayson brought back "Purple Sugar Apples" to share. It's a very sweet and delicate fruit that is creamy in texture and tastes amazing! Brock & Katie picked up papaya, a brown yam, and some fresh sugar.
