Being a part of the @penncenter Heritage Days Celebration on Youth Day is always a pleasure. As a farm we have the opportunity to share with school groups about our work, showcase some of our animals, teach about farming practices, and encourage healthier food selections. We talked about embryology, chick development in the egg, hatching day, showed 3varieties of chickens and ducks, brought our new guineas. Our presentation also included information about Dr. George Washington Carver, his life, inventions and work as an Farm Extension agent at @tuskegeeuniversity. We shared some of his recipes found in the African American Cookbook, and had peanut plants on display. The late Isabella Glen a form PennSchool student wrote in her memoir about Dr. Carvers visit to Penn while she was a student. Finally, we gave visitors an opportunity to grind corn using our corn mill. It was a fantastic day to share #Gullah culture and traditions, sustainable farming and the great work of the Penn School. The display adjacent to us were our friends from South Carolina State University 1890 Research and Extension Service where we both attended and received ur BS in Political Science and History. #SCSU #farm #farmlife #farming #farmpractices #farmtoschool #penncenter #penncenter1862 #sthelenaisland #sthelenaislandsc #penncenterheritageday #celebrations #farmdays #veteranfarmer #veteranfarmercoalition #farmlife #mobilefarm #teachingfarm #beaufortcountysc #beaufortcountyschools #beaufortcountyschooldistrict #cornmill #grindingcorn #grits #cornmeal #localfood #extensionservice #landgrantuniversities #hbcu #1890s (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4uswsKAa7D/?igshid=wtei0otymtne
