Many things go into running a homestead farm that will be educational and interesting to adults and children alike. We also grow various amounts of fruits, berries, vegetables and flowers. Depending on the time of year you may see some vegetable starts in our greenhouse that we grow from seed as well as flowers and herbs. Every year we are adding and improving on what we have already begun. The following are the types of livestock that are raised on the property: cows, sheep, goats, alpacas, pigs, livestock guardian dogs, bees, turkeys, ducks, geese, and chickens. On the tour you will interact with the smaller animals, feed and pet them as well as learn what their role is on the farm. The tour guide is an educator with the Washington State Fair Travelling Farm and has been farming and gardening for many years. Expect to go from pasture to pasture with the farmer/guide as they explain the care and purpose of the animals you come across, feel free to ask questions. Things you could experience include but are not limited to; vegetable and cutting flower gardens, babies being born, milking goats, egg collecting, feeding animals, sampling crops, and so much more.
