The Nature's Bounty cohort started off their second expedition day in an exciting and eye opening way. We had the opportunity to meet Farmer Jim at Long Now Farm, where he explained to us the philosophy behind his naming. His goal for his farm is to encourage people to focus on the concept of time, and allow themselves to spend time in the moment, hence the name "Long Now".
As well as enjoying his fascinating philosophy, we watched him making bread and got to help him with his manure shoveling. Afterwards, we were craving a meal, so we headed to Wicklow Farm and harvested various vegetables. Using these homegrown vegetables, we cooked some omelettes, and a delicious apple pie.
Finally, we headed over to Feltham Park to assist with their restoration, and tackled some tough blackberry bushes. We ended our exciting day with apple pie that was shared with our fellow restorers.
