Child and Parent Programs
Little Farmer Fridays
Little Farmer Fridays are interactive programs designed for preschoolers and their grown-ups. Most appropriate for children ages 2 to 5 years old, our programs offer families the opportunity to hear a story, make a craft, meet the animals, enjoy a wagon ride, and have fun on our 4.5-acre farm.
Gates open at 10am. Stations are open during our two-hour, come-and-go style program and close at 12 pm. After the program is over, guests are welcome to enjoy time on their own until we close at 2 pm. You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch, snack, and/or drinks.
