Farmer's Helpers

Description

Ever wondered what it really takes to run a farm? Roll up your sleeves and find out! Families will help take care of our sheep, goats, and cows by feeding them their evening meals, keeping the barns clean, and making sure everyone is warm and cozy before nightfall.

Activities will vary based on the livestock team's schedule and what the season brings, which means each session brings something new, connecting families to sustainable farming and the animals that make it all happen.

Checking registration status.
