Junior Farmer: Winter

Put on your boots n’ bibs and come out to the farm! Assist with livestock chores – feeding and watering all the animals that call the farm home. Then help gather farm fresh eggs straight from the nest. All pickers take home a share of the eggs collected. If there is time left, we’ll read a story in the barn!
