Students from Franklin Academy arranged to volunteer some Community Service hours at Winterpast Farm today. What alot of work they did!!
They painted old bunny hutches and animal houses.
The students, teacher, and Moms also helped replace some tarps that Farmer Mary uses to shade her animals and which protect the animals from rain. One group also helped put up more of the bamboo wall around the pond. Few loose bunnies were rounded up, and lunch was eaten amongst many chicken friends.
At the end of the work day the group toured the barnyard pasture, met the pigs and llama, walked the ten acres of pastureland with goats and sheep and donkeys. The students had plenty of chances to feed and hold chickens, guinea pigs, bunnies, a baby turkey, a duck, and baby goats.
Farmer Mary always has ideas for individuals or groups who want to help out at the farm. Just ask!
