**Special Farm Event:

This year we will be raising 70 Cornish Cross Meat Chickens on the farm!  They are due to arrive as DAY OLD CHICKS on May 15th.  

A big part of Farm Camp this year will be observing the weekly growth of these birds.  A Cornish Cross Meat Chicken will grow from a day old chick to a fully grown 6-8 pound chicken in 8 weeks!   We will have limited availability for families interested to attend or participate in chicken processing on July 8th and/or to purchase whole chickens for their dinner table.  Contact us for more details.

We have raised and harvested our organic meat chickens for 5 years now and are excited to open up this learning opportunity to the Farm Camp families.
