Eatwell Farm Weekend Farm Tour
Do you love delicious, healthy and organic produce? Would you like to see how sustainable, organic produce is grown? Join Nigel for a tour especially for those who are curious about organic farming. Each group who attends will be sent home with a CSA box filled with deliciously ripe, organic produce to share at home.
Those who join us will walk the farm with Nigel and learn about: - Soil and the organisms that grow in the soil - How chickens have a very important role on the farm (They do more than lay tasty eggs!) - How bugs, pests, parasites and bats contribute to farm life - How the farm is a well balanced environment that provides great food for everyone without poisoning the environment.
While walking the farm, everyone will have the opportunity to taste fresh, organic produce.
In addition to chickens the farm has two Guernsey milk cows, our horse Stella, heritage chicks hatched weekly on the farm, and ducks and geese.
We request that each group have at least one adult for every 4 children attending. Most of the farm is stroller and motorized wheelchair accessible, although it can be somewhat of a rugged and dusty terrain in some spots.
What To Bring: A picnic lunch Picnic blanket and chairs Water bottle Sunscreen Sun hat Walking/athletic shoes Camera
Farm Rules: - Children must be supervised at all times, and may not wander the farm alone. - Absolutely no dogs or other pets on the farm. - No smoking is permitted on the farm. - Do not feed the animals.
Day of the tour: 9:30AM: Registration (Use restroom, fill water bottles, apply sunscreen) 10AM: Farm Tour After the Tour: Enjoy a picnic lunch in the garden.
We hope you'll join us for this unique opportunity to explore the farm and learn about sustainable, organic farming.
