Welcome to Spring 2026 from La Rubia

Plumb Beach Grass Planted by BNS for 15 Years is Flourishing

Not a scientific study.  The time of year is different.  It isn't the same exact spot.  Can we be sure it is the same grass? No.  But...Well you judge for yourself.

Sneak Peak at First Grade Farmers

Seen Through the Ecocasita Window

After a fun scavenger hunt, this crop of farmers enjoys some produce.

Question:  What happens to the food compost after you put it in the bowl?

Puzzled look:  "We throw it in the trash?"

Don't worry:  You'll discover one answer in a month or so!

Hi 2025-2026

From Two Enthusiastic Kindergarteners

 

Two Hens A Layin'

 It's spring and La Rubia and Red are still producing.  

Sad News

Speckles, our beloved hen, has died of old age.  

She was found being looked over by her two flockmates:  La Rubia and Red.

2016 to 2025

Speckles was the friendliest, calmest of the three hens. 

Always willing to be held and petted.  

We will miss her.

Words of comfort from a first grader:

Speckles:  "I had a good life."
Everybody loved you.
