Celebrate the excitement of Earth Week and the role agriculture plays in becoming better stewards of the Earth from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, at the Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Student Farm.
The event, hosted by the Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Student Farm, will provide free bus services from the Creamery bus pullout to the farm and back, commencing at 12:45 p.m. The bus will make a loop every 20 minutes.
Activities will cater to all attendees, ranging from Earth-inspired crafting to wellness activities such as making your own natural tea, farm tours, creating and tasting bean smoothies with a smoothie bike, and more.
Following the event, there are two immersive workshops that require preregistration. A shiitake mushroom workshop will offer participants everything they need to know about mushroom cultivation, from inoculation to harvest. All materials are included and registration can be completed online.
