Spring Farm Days

Spring Farm Day field trip, Thursday and Friday, April 3rd & 4th, 2025, will be an exciting time for students to visit our barnyard animals, witness the historic skills and chores of our ancestors, and learn about farm life in the 1800’s. They will have hands-on experience with some of the old-fashioned chores, such as butter churning, mattress stuffing and gardening. This day is full of fun and learning as students visit approximately 20 different interactive stations. On Saturday, April 5th, the Spring Farm Day experience will open to the public. During this time, we demonstrate the chores, crafts, and activities that a yeoman farmer and his family would perform in the 1800’s to prepare their farm for the coming spring and summer months. Some of these activities include spring cleaning, sheep shearing, and preparing the garden. Through this program modern-day families learn so much about the food they consume and where it comes from. The sheep shearing demonstrations are one of the most popular activities. Scientific knowledge surrounding churning milk and planting crops by seasonal calendars stays with students for a lifetime.
