Each Season Brings Special Activities

In the spring, children prepare for and welcome our spring babies. Little piglets, bunnies, lambs, kid goats, calves, chickens, and goslings all need special attention and nurturing. Summertime is a season of exploring the farms 60 acres of fields, woodlands, and wildlife. Children also go on hayrack and pony rides. The busy fall season begins with pumpkins and ends in December with our animal "live nativity" program. Winter and snow brings a chance for children to try out cross-country skiing. They also give special nurturing and help to all of our farm animals to make sure they survive the cold weather

The Children’s Farm Junior Farmers program is an exceptional and popular program for young children. They’ll. touch, they’ll. enjoy, they’ll. learn…all part of experiencing the wonder and nature of life at the farm!
