The Clockworks Collective met with some fellow tribe-members at a local farm, Gallymeyer Farms. They grow and sell a large selection of fresh produce, and offer educational and fun seasonal activities for children, including hayrides, spooky house tours, the straw bale maze, and the pumpkin romping pile. Staff is always prepared to give educational presentations on the growth process of the pumpkin plant, from seed to soil contact, through the relationship with the honeybees, and ending in how humans benefit from the plant?insect relationship, through examples of jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin pie, candles, soap, and honey. We met all of our friends for a picnic lunch and romp on the playground, then rode out on the hay wagon to the fields, where we had a lovely time strolling and finding just the right gourds. Everyone had a wonderful day, and we are sure to make it a family tradition year after year.
