“Two mystery guests in
one week,” the children shouted with glee! Our second mystery guests of the
week were Matt Robinson and Maryellen Sheehan, farmers and owners of Hartwood Farm. Their 70 acre farm sits in the hills of
Fenner, about 2 miles east of the windmills. They were invited to The New
School to support our study of Mesopotamia, especially irrigation and farming.
Matt and Maryellen explained how they irrigated their farms and the challenges
and pleasures of growing organic vegetables and fruit for their CSA members. A
lively discussion took place about “good” and “bad” bugs and how the weather
impacts their harvests.
