Storytime + Craft on the Farm

Its time for stories and crafts on the farm!!!

Each month we will be hosting at least one story time highlighting either a Goat on the Go book by our friend and local author Natalie Horseman, a Kids Yoga story with interactive nature themes and kid friendly yoga poses, or one of our own farm adventures from our Detective Goat series.

Story time will be followed by time with the chickens, goats, and sheep. Plus a kid friendly craft.

What to expect:

- Check in from 10:30-10:45 (Kids are welcome to have light play on our personal playground as long as they are monitored by a parent)

-Interactive story time with a Goat on the Go, Kids Yoga, or Detective Goat story

-Scheduled feeding time for the chickens, ducks, and goose. You can bring your own treats, or we will have some you can use.

- Goat and Sheep cuddle area. They may even lay in your lap :) Amanda will answer farm related questions and teach about farm life.

- Farm themed crafts will be set up for kids to participate in as well.

- Open Farm Store with lots of premade gifts, crafts, stones and crystals, farm swag, and farm products

Ages: 

All ages welcome. (tickets need to be bought for anyone who can or will be walking, babies under 1 are free) 

**Parents please stay with your child(ren): We do ask that all ages are respectful to our property, the animals, and other visitors (i.e. chasing, yelling, running, and picking up animals are not allowed)**

This is a smaller homestead not a big open property or field, and our animals are used to calm. The birds are also free roaming.

Thank you for your understanding :)

About the animals:

-Goats and Sheep: 14 Nigerian dwarf goats. All are trained to cuddle. There are also two sheep who have spent their whole lives with the goats and cuddling people.

-A sweet farm dog named Shaggy (please leave your dogs at home, as he is protective of his animals)

-Chickens, ducks, and a goose free roaming the farm property, who love corn, grapes, leafy greens, and berries. The chickens will eat from your hand and sometimes jump in your lap. (Please only feed at the set times and location)
