Farm Visits
In the Spring and the Fall, we like to learn about farms. There are two local farms that we like to visit. One is a regular farm. The other is a dairy farm. They both do hayrides and have a petting zoo. The dairy farm sells fresh eggs, milk and cheese made from their farm. Last year we saw a new born calf just minutes old born at the dairy farm. They said they have several born everyday.
