06.15.09 Well we knew it was coming but these things are so often not easy to tell. Needless to say it was quite a surprise while doing morning chores to see a new little one already standing albeit a little shaky. In no time at all the filly was up and running and most importantly nursing well. Here are some images from the first few hours.

The Farm Camp program is designed to provide children with opportunities to experience organic gardening, farm ecology, sustainable living and animal husbandry in a fun, educational and recreational environment.
Our goal is to expose children to the interconnectedness of all living things. Through creative play, work and exploration children will develop an appreciation for the sustainable farm ecosystem, a sense of environmental stewardship and the knowledge that growing your own organic food is not only fun but better for you and for the earth.
In each camp, children will learn in a safe constructive and fun environment. Our animal partners help us learn responsibility, teamwork, respect, healthy conflict resolution and compassion.
