Families can help the farm hand with daily chores. Clean stalls, collect eggs or feed the animals. Dress for the weather and barnyard work. Meet at the big red barn.

Our presenter is from Andelain Fields, located in Clark County, and raises free-range, slow-growth chickens. His chickens are raised on pasture and eat bugs, grubs, grass, and forbs in addition to organic feed. The chickens have unrestricted access to water, sun, shade, and shelter. Learn why people choose to raise chickens, types and breeds of chickens, environmental needs, housing needs, harvesting, sale, and how chickens fit into a sustainable farm.

There is always something growing on the farm, whether its crops or animals. Have great fun matching babies to mothers and seeds to plant. You will also get to know mothers to be. A craft and time with the animals will also be part of this program. Program begins at 1:30 PM. Meet at Education Building. Reservations required and limited, visit metroparks.org or call 937-276-7062.
