Spring into Farming Follow: Nutrient Trail (Mid-April - early June): Explore springtime on the farm and choose from the following: garden, pond study, chickens and embryology, goats, vermicomposting and wagon ride as you travel the 'nutrient trail' and explore the big question - how are all the creatures and plants on the farm connected?
