Notes

Hey, kids, help out at the farm while enjoying fun activities you can't experience anywhere else!

  • Feed and water the livestock and collect eggs.
  • Learn about the farm's crops on a horse-drawn wagon ride.
  • Help chop vegetables, bake cornbread and cookies, and prepare a noon meal from scratch using a wood-burning stove.
  • Tidy up the kitchen by sweeping and washing the dishes.
  • Play hoops and other historic games and learn how to make string figures.

Most activities are outside, so dress for the weather.
