Little Farm Hands
Big farm play sized just right for little hands.
Little Farm Hands invites young children and caregivers to explore farm life through imaginative, hands-on play. In this welcoming indoor space, children can build homes for chickens, use toy tractors to bring the hay in, and explore a child-sized farmstand. These touch-friendly experiences spark curiosity, build confidence, and bring joy while helping children connect with agriculture in approachable and meaningful ways.
Little Hands,
Big Farm Discoveries
Explore farm life and discover the sights, smells, and sounds of the farm.
From the first joyful sounds of “moo,” “baa,” “neigh,” and “cluck-cluck,” children begin building connections to the animals, people, and work that shape life on the farm. Through living, breathing farm life, young visitors learn about caring for animals, growing food, and Vermont’s agricultural heritage in ways that feel approachable and fun. These early moments of curiosity can grow into lifelong connections to the land, community, and shared resources that sustain us all.
Farm Friends Play Club
Designed for children and their caregivers, this club explores sensory play, imagination, and hands-on discovery.
Farm Friends Play Club invites our youngest guests to engage in sensory and imaginative play. Designed for young children (ages 3-9) and their caregivers, this joyful program encourages curiosity, confidence, connection, and meaningful play inspired by life on the farm.
