Goats and sheep and chickens, oh my! Join us for a unique, behind-the-scenes opportunity to help out at the Blandford Farm. Assist with livestock chores – feed and water the animals that call the farm home - and then help gather fresh eggs straight from the nest. If time allows, candle eggs and learn all about chicken development. All helpers take home a share of the eggs collected!
