School is a preschool, a place for3- and4-year-olds to learn and play、Alison Huff has taught at other schools、 She says the Farm School gives its students more of a hands-on learning experience、 For

out in the garden、” In addition to planting vegetables and fruits, children help prepare food and clean up afterwards、 The school teaches the children to cook using the food they have grown、“They can
