On The Farm

Discover how a farm really works

At Casey Farm

What is a farm and what happens there? To find out about life on Casey Farm, students meet farm animals, explore fields and farm buildings, get to act like a draft horse, and learn what it’s like to milk a cow. Through these experiences, they see how every animal contributes to the success of the farm.

Each group participates in a seasonal hands-on activity: turning compost, cultivating, planting, or harvesting. Teachers choose from twenty different activities to tailor the program to their group’s grade level and interests.
