Join us while we explore the animals and farmland around us.  We love showing and teaching children the importance of animals as they relate to agriculture. If the season is right, we'll visit the gardens to explore the importance of food in our society.

Season changes bring different dimensions to activities on the farm including:  spring, which showcases baby animals; fall, which allows changes in color; and summer which sees our gardens growing.

Down on the Farm includes a hands-on farm tour with animal interactions featuring ponies, horses, goats, sheep, rabbits and poultry.

Horses, ponies, HOORAY!!  We love our equine and would like to share them with your family and friends!  We'll groom the horses and braid their manes to get them ready for the photos you'll want to take with them!

Hooray for Horses includes pony and horse interactions along with learning basic equine needs and care.

Riding is available for an additional $5 per child.

Farming provides food for us all, so why not come to the farm to get the freshest in-season ingredients?  Farm to Table provides participants with the opportunity to learn the important role food plays in their everyday lives. They will create their own food to their taste and enjoy eating their creations!

Farm to Table includes selecting in-season ingredients and making a snack.  June through October may include a visit to our farm gardens to pick fresh ingredients.  

Current recipes include mini pizza flatbread and fruit smoothie.

Minimum of $100

Did you know that the bee population is decreasing?  However, bees provide an important element in our food systems...pollination.  Without our pollinators, our plants would not prosper.  Participants can help the bees by building a hotel for them to lay eggs and hopefully multiply.  Bees are attracted to bright colors, so we'll also paint the pollinator hotels in hopes of attracting more bees.

Build for Pollinators includes materials to build and paint a bee hotel.
