Need an excuse to get out of the house? Bring your tiny farmer to the Blandford Farm for this farm-themed version of our popular Nature Buds program! Each program will be hosted by a Blandford Farmer and will feature a barnyard tour, a story, and an activity, all geared towards our youngest visitors. There will also be some time for self-guided play in the farm playscape. New farm themes each week.
Note: This program is designed for children ages 1-4 and their caregivers. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Older children are welcome but should be prepared for the slower pace of this program. Children under 2 are free, but registration is required for all participants including children under 12 months. Program will run rain, snow, or shine, so dress for the weather!
Member Caregiver or Child: $5
Non-Member Caregiver or Child: $8
Infants Under 12 months: Free (registration still required)
Each registered child is required to have a registered adult accompany them for this program.
Please note there are NO BATHROOMS AT THE FARM from September to March and only port-a-potties available from April to August. The nearest full-service bathrooms are at the Blandford Visitor Center, a 10-15 minute walk or 2 minute drive away.
Please Note: This program will take place mainly outdoors. Crafts may be done indoors depending on weather conditions including rain or wind.
