Fun Days on the O-Farm!

Dartmouth’s campus extends far past Hanover. The Dartmouth Skiway, Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, and the Second College Grant are additionally residence to Dartmouth college students!

Another vital location for college students is the Dartmouth Organic Farm, aka the O-Farm. Dartmouth Outing Club (DOC) hosts many occasions on the O-Farm all year long, particularly in the course of the fall and spring when the climate is nicer. 

In the spring, I went to Brewhaha on the O-Farm, a enjoyable day-long occasion crammed with actions and meals. The occasion will get its identify from all of the brewed drinks which can be served, like espresso, tea, and kombucha. 

The O-Farm is situated a few miles away from campus, so for occasions like this, college students can take free shuttle buses from campus to the occasion.

For Brewhaha, my buddy and I boarded one of many earlier buses and obtained to the O-Farm with loads of time to get pleasure from the entire occasion. When we obtained there, we checked out the barn first; inside, there have been a bunch of crafts. After crafting for a bit, we went again exterior to see the meals and drinks. 

Near the greenhouse, college students had been handing out kombucha, espresso, and every kind of brewed drinks. After grabbing drinks, we walked additional down the trail to the meals vehicles and grabbed some lunch. 

With our meals and drinks, we lastly took a seat and listened to the coed bands performing. One of one of the best elements of Dartmouth is the coed band,s and I like any likelihood I can get to take heed to them and vibe to their music!

Besides Brewhaha, the O-Farm additionally hosts the same occasion, “Harfest,” within the fall. I did not go final yr, however after how a lot I beloved going to Brewhaha, I knew I needed to go to Harfest this yr.

This time, all of the meals and drinks had been autumn-themed, like apple cider donuts and drinks. My buddy was particularly excited that they’d gluten-free donuts!

Crafts had been taking place once more within the barn, so we checked that out subsequent. Here I screen-printed a extremely cute shirt that claims “Harfest” with a inexperienced pine tree on it.

After crafting, we met up with extra of our buddies and grabbed meals. We then explored part of the O-Farm I had by no means been to earlier than, which is a path that results in the Connecticut River. Down there, on the grassy space subsequent to the river, had been extra crafting actions. There was pumpkin and rock portray, which I, after all, participated in!

Eventually, we went again as much as the primary space and, after grabbing sizzling cocoa, sat right down to take heed to bands, which had been nice!
