This block of time is for homeschoolers or caregivers and their children. We will welcome you to engage with our animals and to learn a bit about them.
My vision is that this time is mostly unstructured - with learning woven into the fun and running around. I am not a teacher and did not homeschool my own children, so I am open to suggestions, ideas, tweaks and feedback.
Most farm visits last about 90 minutes. We have it set up for the children to have as much freedom as possible.
They will have freedom to roam our paddock with the 7 nigerian dwarf goats (The Snack Pack). The larger goats and llama will be contained behind the kissing booth for safety reasons. Don't worry - they'll come over for treats and attention!
The mini-cows are no longer mini - so they will also be behind a gate or fence so the children can safely interact with them, pet and maybe even brush Gracie. Maverick is partial to children, so they may even sneak in a nose boop if they are lucky!
We have a small event barn with A/C (not always effective, but it takes the edge off) and heat in the winter.
We also have either the camper or a cute little outhouse available for the children as well a hand washing station and/or hand sanitizer.
I will include worksheets and some simple activities or games.
I will have to require ticket purchases to control occupancy per my insurance. I'll post of FAQ's below and a ticket link.
For now, beginning Friday, May 22nd through Friday, August 28th, with a few exceptions.
Dates that we are closed will be blocked out on ticket link.
