Farm Family April 6, 2011

It's spring! Animals are hoppin' and buds are poppin'. We'll explore the farm, help the farmers with some chores and find out where hens like to lay their eggs, what lambs and cows like to eat, and why pigs love mud! We will also spend some time in the garden planting seeds, digging for worms, and tasting the first crops of spring. Each week will be a new farm adventure! - - All ages welcome. 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 please mention these participants when registering. The fee for children between the ages of 12 and 17 months is half the regular participant fee. - - Things You Should Know: - - -Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary is a dynamic environment.
