The Stein Family Farm

On Saturday my husband Eric and I visited the Stein Family Farm in National City. It is a historical sight and a still-working farm run by volunteers. March is "Farm Days" for the farm and all month the volunteers dress up in outfits from around the turn of the century and give tours and put on exhibitions of life on an American farm in the early 20th century.

There was a troop of Boy Scouts present who were digging up some fresh garden beds and some representatives of an organization representing early American engines that modeled how engines were run during the hay-day of the Stein's farm (there is a video of a couple of them at the end of the photo stream below.) Students - get your volunteer hours up by volunteering at this farm. You can show up any Saturday from 10:00-4:00 and they will assign you something to work on. You do not need to call or contact them in advance!

Next week we'll be visiting the Ocean Beach Farmer's Market in ongoing visits to local sites that encourage and promote sustainable living. Maybe we'll see you there on Wednesday!
