Farm Fun

On a dairy farm, there are always things to do! Cows must be milked and fed twice a day. Calves must be fed. Fields must be prepared, planted, monitored and harvested. Equipment must be maintained. Animals must be tended.

Guests at Verdant View can experience rural life first-hand by participating in some of the daily farm activities. Children and adults alike can participate in the following on-farm activities:

  • Ride the Farmland Fun Tour Wagon
  • Spend some time as a Farmer's Apprentice
  • Milk a cow by hand
  • Bottle-feed baby calves
  • Pet the pets (kittens, Little Roscoe the friendly dog, goat, turkeys, rabbits)
  • Collect eggs from the farm chickens
  • Feed the swans and geese
  • Lead a goat
  • Fish in the farm pond (large-mouth bass and bluegills)
  • Walk down the 1/2 mile lane to the "back 40"
  • Swing on the porch swing, tire swing, or rope swing
  • If you are lucky, see a calf being born
