Students went to Smith Farm to help with the annual Rutabaga harvest, a yearly celebratory event that brings out all the tractors. Students were delighted to ruin their Canada Goose jackets by digging around in the mud for the elusive roots, which they then handed to the Smiths to be packaged and sold in the greater Eau Claire Wisconsin area. The Resident Assistant gave extra fruit snacks as a winner to the most prolific harvester, who managed to collect 105 rutabagas over the course of their four hour visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the RA Bob McSchmob explained in his introductory email, this is \u201cthe Disneyland of Rutabaga picking in Wisconsin! We\u2019ve got Alta-Sweet, Improved Long Island, and even some Granny Jones Rutabagas! Even though we missed apple season and probably couldn\u2019t afford that kind of trip anyway, you can still enjoy Rutabaga donuts and Rutabaga Spice Lattes (only $8!). There\u2019s also a two-foot tall corn maze and plenty of autumnal activities! We\u2019re hoping that the farm can even provide a tub for you to go rutabaga bobbing in. While Smith Family Farms has never actually hosted a school trip before, we\u2019re very optimistic about this trip!
