About Family Farmer for a Day

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, or go on a wagon ride to visit the flerd! Activities change based on the day and needs of the farm.

This session is for adult/children pairs and children may not participate unattended. The additional child/adult tickets are only for additional members beyond the pair.
