Farm Day Camp Adds Another Day!
Farm Day Camp has been such a huge success this summer, we’ve added another day during the week for kids to come out and learn what living and working on a farm is all about. Now, your kids can visit Carousel O Breeds Farm on Mondays, as well as Thursdays.
Kids aged 6 to 15 are welcome to attend. And both boys and girls love our Farm Day Camp. Many of the boys like taking flowers from the garden home to their moms, a special surprise to me!
It’s been hot at the farm, but we do our best to stay cool. Unfortunately, our chickens refuse to lay eggs in the heat!
For more information and to sign up, call me, Libby Shackelford, at 205-533-0432.
