Our program is a fun filled week of new experiences and adventures. Farmhands dive into the life of the farm by working in the gardens, caring for our animals and exploring the diversity of life woven into the fabric of the farm.
Activities range from collecting eggs, feeding chickens,grooming a horse to slopping the pigs, watering and weeding the gardens and planting seeds; maybe even helping harvest tasty snacks from the garden!

Get Ready to Get Muddy!
Farmhands will also visit and explore neighboring wetlands. Teaming with frogs, turtles and dragonflies these wetlands allow us to learn about the rich life to be found where water exists in Colorado.
