About Family Farm Chores at Powisset Farm

It’s morning at Powisset Farm and we have work to do!

Come help us with morning farm chores in the barnyard, working side by side with our staff. Give the goats, sheep, and rabbits their breakfast, fresh water, and hay. Clean up pens and put down fresh bedding hay. You’ll have time for lots of animal cuddles before turning them out for the day!

This is an immersive, hands-on experience, limited to 5 helpers per morning and is perfect for families—adults and children alike will get to try their hand at a variety of tasks. Be sure to wear sneakers or other closed-toe shoes. Family Farm chores is best suited for children ages 3 and up and adults who don’t mind getting dirty and want to work in and learn about the rhythms of the barn.

We look forward to seeing you in the barnyard!

Please note, although we love our four-legged friends, dogs are not allowed at Powisset Farm.
