Sixth graders work the dirt at community farm

Sixth graders spent the morning yesterday working the earth at Gaining Ground, an organic farm that grows produce to donate to area meal programs and food pantries. The farm, located in Concord, relies on volunteers to plant and harvest the 150 varieties of produce it grows. Tenacre students got down and dirty, preparing the soil for spring planting. Sixth graders also volunteered their time at Gaining Ground last fall. The visits are part of the Grade 6 service learning curriculum.
