After harvesting the tomatoes we headed down the hill to the barnyard where Ms. Meg talked about the animals that live on the farm, and introduced us to the horses. We were then put to work collecting eggs and laying new hay for the chickens. It was a great way for the kids to get up close to the animals and learn more about how they live.
We finished out our morning by learning about and feeding the pigs. I think the kids loved this best of all and they all asked really good questions about the pig, how much and what they eat, if they really roll around in the mud and more! We all left our morning at the farm feeling like we had really done something great by helping with their chores, but also by providing our kids with a better idea of how their food is grown and raised and helping them learn to be better protectors of the land. 
A huge thank you to Ms. Meg, Weir River Farm and all of the families who joined us for this wonderful event! We hope you had as much fun as we did!
