** Special Note About New Farm Programs **
Planning to attend a farm program or drop-in class? Please keep the following in mind:
-- Day-of registration for drop-in classes and check-in for registration required programs is at the Blandford Farm, not the main campus Visitor Center.
-- Farm staff will be available to greet you, check your party in, and register participants for drop-in classes 30 minutes before listed program start times. Look for the “Farm Programs” signs in the farmyard space between the large red animal barn and the barn playscape.
-- The Blandford Farm is located at 3143 Milo Street NW, Grand Rapids 49504. Parking is available at the corner of Lamont Ave NW & Milo Street NW. You may also walk to the Blandford Farm from the main Blandford Nature Center campus. If you decide to walk, please keep in mind that programs start promptly at listed start times at the Blandford Farm. The walk from the Visitor Center to the Farm is 10-15 minutes.
