different that i thought

I was actually very excited to go to Pete's Farm but I ended up being a little bit disappointed after we reached there. The farm that I pictured in my mind was totally different (maybe I am just bias because I have never seen a farm in United States and have only seen the farm in Indonesia). To me, it looked more like a 'garden' than a farm and there were not many plants too.

There are few things that I learned from this field trip. First, now I have the idea and picture of how farm in United States look like and how they run it. The farm here is more 'modern' compared to the farm in my country where we still plow the soil using cow and water buffalo. Apparently, my country is very outdated and traditional. Second, I learned about the black cover that they used on the plants and how they water their plants (i know i'm so off the topic but I just want to share what I learned). I think the farmers in Indonesia should learn from Pete about 'modern' farming.

I totally second Lilie's comment about the farm stand. It looked like common whole food store. I did not see anything special about the farm stand though I have to admit that I saw a few things that I have never seen in my entire life. I found the goose (I think it is a fruit or something that is dressed as a goose) very cute and attractive. I bought the fresh mozzarella cheese and bread (which I shared with Maiya). They were awesome! I have never eaten fresh mozzarella with plain bread and I really love it.

Even though I was quite disappointed with the farm (not the field trip though), I still enjoyed my time there and learned new things from there.

*hail to the fresh mozzarella!*
