Bringing Up Baby April 29, 2011

Spring is here, and we have new life all over the Farm. Come and celebrate SPRING with our new farm babies. Make a colorful May basket and line it with soft wool from our sheep. Visit our spring lambs and kids as they frolic with their mothers. Check out the fluffy chicks in the poultry house. Make a "bird's nest helper" for some wild babies. Peek at some different babies from our vernal pool. In the garden, plant your own baby plant (a seed) to take home and care for. Enjoy a "baby" snack. - - All ages welcome. For one or more adults along with 1-3 children per adult.
