The new hens are a wonderful addition to the school, and some students are part of a team to help care for the hens! These programs are exciting opportunities for students to learn about animal husbandry, health and nutrition and become experienced chicken-keepers!<br />

The kids were great and many faced and conquered their fears! Many had never touched or held a hen in their lives and several took on the challenge! The guests were then treated to pizeelles baked by our amazing volunteer Deb made from some of our eggs! We even had some extra mint for them to take home and enjoy at home! Thanks for visiting!
If you want to bring your group, we offer free tours on Tuesday mornings at 11:00 am. Email lily@lilykesselman to sign up your group! We would love to have you!

We picked up a a 3.5 pound bag of lettuce and green scraps for the hens and they LOVED it! We will hopefully be picking these up daily and not only keeping our hens happy, healthy and busy - it will keep pounds of waste out of our landfills!

What a treat! We worked the fields and enjoyed the views and made a lunch for all to share. This farm has ties with the South Bronx - please feel free to read their website - and they sell their vegetables at the Padre Plaza Farmer's Market every Wednesday in the summers. Now they don't have chickens - yet, but we will be happy to welcome them when they do! Wassaic welcomes guests and volunteers to come up (the Metro North stops right there!) and experience their farm. C'est la vie! Maybe we chickens should take a day trip!
We did a little black & white photo study. You like?
