🦋Monarch Watch Tagging Program🦋

This is a program that we are so excited to have here at Turn Back Time!

This incredible place based integrated emergent curriculum emerged from the interest of the children as they experienced nature right here on the farm.

The children created a patch of native milkweed in the garden and checked it daily for eggs, larvae and caterpillars. We put them in a protective enclosure with fresh milkweed for the caterpillars to eat and grow in until they developed their chrysalis. Once they emerged we released them to our gardens filled with nectar plants to feed on and produce the next generation of Monarchs.

🐛

There are 4 generations of Monarchs that happen every year, only the last generation are strong enough to make the trip to Mexico.

We tagged the butterflies by putting the tag right on the discal cell of the wing. We also graphed how many males and females we had!

The Monarchs travel to Oyamel Fir Forests right in the heart of Mexico to be exact! If any of our monarchs make it there they will contact us and let us know they completed their journey! ✨

🌽Cook what you grow!🌽

Our last week of summer camp was full of delicious treats that we enjoyed after a little hard work in the kitchen!

The kids learned how to safely cut up some local cucumbers, from Breezy Gardens Farm, and learned how to make pickles! 🥒

🍦 Ice cream in a bag was a huge hit! We all wore winter gloves to shake it up! 🥶
We also made homemade butter in a jar, It was super fun & challenging to shake up the cream! 🧈
We rewarded ourselves by putting that butter on zucchini bread! It was absolutely amazing and we are thankful for the local cream from Cooper’s Farm!

Corn on the Cobb roasted over the fire pit was such a blast! 🌽 Thank you to Cournoyer Farm for all of that delicious corn!

We are so grateful for our local farm community! 🌾
