Open Farmyard is a free, drop-in program: Wednesdays (3pm-5pm) and Sundays (9:30am-11:30am)
Join Land’s Sake farm educators for free weekly drop-in activities, geared for ages 2.5-7. Programs include stories, picking and planting in the Education Garden, exploring the chicken coop and more. Activities are geared for small children with caregivers, but children of all ages are welcome. Come for one activity, or stay for the full two hours! A schedule is posted near the parking lot at the beginning of each session, so you know where to meet the group. Registration is encouraged, but not required.
