This year all updates to the farm were made on the HHS 2023 Page.HHS 2023
We are a continuation high school in Southern California. We are located in a metropolitan area and as a school have embraced Urban Farming. Our goal it to introduce our students to the farm. We currently are raising a variety of chickens and experimenting with egg colors.

End of the Year Update
I have been a bit tardy on posting on this page. We had a visit by a model school committee. In preparation for the visit, I made sure I had a hatching of chickens. We had 10 chicks hatch at the end of November in time for the Dec 1 visit. These chicks stayed in the classroom until winter break so they could be cared for by students over the break. The chicks were moved on December 20th out into the chick cage in the Coop.
10 Chicks hatch on November 28 for the Dec 1 committee visit.
