Jr. Farmers is a one-of-a-kind program offered at The Children’s Farm. This program is designed for children ages 3-12 (3-8 during summer sessions) and provides a natural environment to explore one’s love for animals and nature. We offer Jr. Farmer sessions seasonally though out the year, with all seasonal sessions embracing the natural wonders occurring right then! Children are able to explore their passion for animals while interacting with chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, goats, cows, sheep and more!

Our Spring Kick Off Session Beings Week of February 28th.  This four week session will focus on welcoming our new baby livestock and helping prepare for the arrival of all the baby chicks and ducks.  Preregistration is required.  $48 for 4 week session.
