Hands On Day - Tuesday, September 28th, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
A perfect learning experience for ages 3-16... What a wonderful way to educate young people (all ages) about life on an American farm. Our Hands On Day can fit into earth science programs, food science and nutrition programs as well as being an overview for younger students. This is not a trip to a museum, nor is it a cartoon version of a farm; this is a moment when we, as actual farmers, open our doors to our younger guests , and allow them to participate in jobs which we do every day, answering their questions and inviting their curiosity. Classes must be prescheduled. We are happy to tailor our program to fit your curriculum needs.
