As I sit here eating farm fresh popcorn — and I mean really farm fresh — I want to take a moment and just share with you how farm fresh our offerings are to campers.
With the corn that we grew here at our farm, BDC campers shucked and removed the kernels from the cob and then popped them over an open fire that we built.
Now we are putting the butter, which was made by BDC campers from our farm fresh milk, over this delicious popcorn.
As I sit here, I am thinking about how long it takes each camper to decide which afternoon activity they will choose. I truly understand why! How can one decide between making Ooblek; or catching crickets and grass hoppers to feed to the chickens; or walking the goat; or playing swamp em; or making fairy dragon wings and using tools to make fairy houses?
In all honesty, how could one not want to make the freshest farm popcorn ever. It never ceases to amaze me as Director and I never get tired of hearing the staff introduce the activities at morning circle. It is one of the highlights of the BDC. How awesome to have the opportunity to participate in these kinds of activities. No wonder all of your children love this place so much.
I wonder what will be on that list tomorrow!!
–Andrea Breen, BDC Director
