Farm Family September 30, 2010

Fall is here! Animals are skippin' and the vegetables are ready for eatin'! Bring the family to the farm for an afternoon of discovery. We'll explore the farm to discover where the hens are laying their eggs, what cows and sheep like to eat, and why the pigs love wallowing in mud. We'll also stop by the garden to dig for worms, care for plants, and taste some fall flavors. Join us for an introduction to farming at a pace suitable for all ages. - - All ages welcome, but oldest child must be at least two years old. Up to three children per adult. Fees apply to all participants, both adults and children. "Backpack babies" (under 12 months and carried in a backpack or sling) are welcome free of charge, but strollers are not appropriate for the terrain we will cover. Please mention these participants when registering. For children between 12 and 17 months of age, the fee is half the regular fee. Mass Audubon family memberships must be current to receive member rates; please consider joining when you register. - - Things You Should Know: - - Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary is a dynamic environment. Occasionally we may make programmatic changes to take advantage of new opportunities or to maintain the safety of all animals and visitors. - - Children should be the age indicated by the start of each program. - - On the first day of each class, please check in at the Admissions Window (except where noted), to find out where your class will meet. - - Programs include some time indoors as well as outdoors; please come dressed appropriately for our outdoor adventures! - - In programs where there is a farm to food connection, snacks from the farm may be incorporated. Registration is required. Call 781-259-2200 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=685-DFP10SU2 for more information.
