Family Fun
Our Saturday Family programming offers multiple weekend opportunities for families to participate in the farm activities. Each season will have an event, an educational program, and a guided hike. Our staff provides the opportunity for your family to embrace what makes each season unique as they highlight a special part of the farm. This is a great opportunity for the whole family to experience the farm together.
