Educational Programs for Students & Families Sheep Shearing & Farm Animal Dates Available! Howell Farm's hands-on field trips are designed for schools and families, bringing students of all ages through the fields, woods and barns of a real working farm. Along the way, they learn about the history, technology, and science of farming in the past and in the present. Learn more about this season's programs below!

March 15 "Bottle-Fed Lamb" For whatever reason, this little guy was not getting enough milk from his mom. But don't worry...his farmer-parents (Katelyn and Alessandra) will bottle feed and keep him warm until his mom can take over. March 7 "The First Arrival" Our first lamb (a boy) arrived today, followed twenty minutes later by his twin bother! ![]() ![]()
March 4: "Bushy, the Cat, Learns to Tell Time" She may not know how to use a watch but she sure does know when it's 2 o'clock! That's when Blizzard the cow gets milked. Bushy always makes her way to the barn in time to get a fresh mug of milk from one of the farm's generous milkmaids. |
