Description

Winterberry farm is a fully operating sustainable farm located in Ithaca, NY. Our animals participate in an on farm petting zoo and have toured several libraries and schools around the state. I bring a miniature horse, calf, sheep, goat, pig, angora rabbit, peacock, turkey, chicken, duck, and quail; along with anything else that is new or fits in the trailer. Most of our animals are heritage breeds, there is an explanation of the history of the breed, how the animal benefits the farm, what products come from the animal, and general care and management. Kids can pet the animals learn how to handle them. To schedule, please visit https://winterberryhomestead.org

This program is suitable for the 2023 summer reading theme All Together Now on Kindness, Friendship, and Unity.

Facility Requirements

I bring along a tarp to protect flooring. It is helpful to have an outdoor location or pavilion but not necessary. If the location is indoors it is nice to have a direct outside door available for ease of transport.

Comments

It is helpful to have other local libraries schedule together at greater distances, travel will be split between them, and programs will be discounted based on number of libraries.
