Currently the site houses: raised gardens growing a variety of food sources; a chicken coop that houses chickens produc ing eggs; some binzebos, a unique take on gazebos; water capture tanks; com post containers and beauti ful flower beds loaded with bee and butterfly attracting plants.Recognizing the impor tance of providing students with enriched learning op portunities, Round Hill School teachers and ad ministrators are working with RHRAF on using the site as a hands-on, real-life teachingDuringmodel.COVID, teach ers at RHS took advantage of the resources Agricul ture for Life to help incor porate agriculture into the classrooms, which has con tinued to be a vital part of the School teacherTakingcurriculum.theleadisRHSTarenHolden.In

The members of the Round Hill and District Agricultural Society and volunteers demonstrated the old-fashioned way of threshing during harvest at the Round Hill Harvest Show and Shine on September 4. Threshing, or thrashing, is the process of loosening the edible part of grain from the straw to which it is attached. It is the step in grain preparation after reaping (bottom right). These operations are carried out in the field with the help of animals and machines. Threshing demonstration brought back memories for retired farmers and was a learning experience for young people.
