Last weekend, I went to a farm museum with my friend. We went to the Queens County Farm Museum. Although I was dragged there, surprisingly, I quite enjoyed myself. Seeing all the animals made me happy. There was such an abundance of farm animals! From alpacas to goats and rabbits, the farm offered such a variety in their feeding pens. Aside from the feeding pen, which was my favorite part of the trip, the farm museum offered many, many other activities. For instance, there was an activity called The Amazing Maize Maze, which was basically a corn maze and my comrades and I had to find our way out of a three acre corn field. Before the maze, a couple of the farm museum workers introduced us to the maze in what they called a “Stalk Talk”. This discussion was essentially the rules and objectives of the maze, in addition to how to find clues within the maze to find the exit. Because my friends were so amazing and bright, they found the exit without my help (because I’m so useless). Even though I didn’t put any work into finding the exit, I still had a good time. Besides The Amazing Maize Maze, the farm museum also offered a tour during my visit there. During the tour, the farm workers basically took us around the farm and taught us about their composing areas, growing fields, and green houses. I feel like I learned a lot during my visit and have decided to take up composting, as I enjoyed it so much. Being able to not waste any food while putting food scraps to use is really neat thing to do. It is also really good for the environment! I like making a difference, so can you!
