Students from Professor Asunción Arnedo’s Spanish 104 class visited the college farm on Saturday, September 29 ^th.   The visit to the farm was given purpose from the Valley &Ridge sustainability program that Professor Arnedo participated in.  She wanted to give her students a sense of place and to connect them with the college farm and its offerings. 

Heather Livingston, a Spanish language student, incorporated her language skills into a fun and interesting bi-lingual guided tour of the farm for fellow students.

Professor Mark Aldrich made a plein air Paella lunch for all the students and their guests. Many of the ingredients used in the paella were fresh picked from the college farm.
