About Farmer for a Day at TFI

Put on your boots and get ready for some fun! Get a glimpse into the life of a farmer with some hands-on farm experience checking in and completing chores for our farm animals. Farmers might collect and carton eggs, help plant or harvest in the garden, set up new fences for our livestock, or even work on a homesteading project. Children may attend unaccompanied, with an adult, or with the entire family. Sessions are a single day, but you may sign up for multiple.

Group sessions and rates available – contact us at thefarminstitute@thetrustees.org for more information or to reserve.
