New educational workshops added to Farm Day

Farm Day is next weekend, and I am so looking forward to it. 

Farm Day is an annual event, where the farmer invites customers and supporters to tour the farm and see exactly where their food comes from and how it’s made. 

As usual, the farmer will have a bountiful spread of food prepared by the farmer’s wife, hay wagon rides, and pony cart rides. 

For the first time, the farmer is also offering four educational workshops to members: 

1. Butter Making 

The farm staff will demonstrate how to churn cream into butter from scratch. Tastes of the product in process are encouraged. It will be the freshest butter you could possibly taste. 

2. Milk a Cow 

During the day’s regular milking, the farmer will pull friendly cows aside for hand milking. Have you ever squirted warm milk directly from a teat? Here’s your chance! 

3. A Taste of Gardening 

The farmer’s wife and farm staff will give you a tour of the garden. They’ll show you what’s growing late in the season and give you some helpful tasks to complete. 

4. Bottle Feed a Calf 

Just after milking, the sweet little calves need to be fed warm milk from their mother. Help bottle feed the calves. 

A workshop schedule will be posted on the day of the event. Please look for the information table to find out where and when to meet for the workshops. 

We are managing the event through Eventbrite. If you’re on our list, you should have received at least one invitation at this point.

Please let me know if you have any questions. And, I hope to see you there!
