A Day at the Farm

Experience life and work on the farm!

At Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm

This farm program teaches preschool and elementary school students about farm animals, farm work past and present, and the ecology of a farm and its inhabitants.

Students will explore the farmyard, the manor house and farmhouse, and the 1776 great barn.  This is a hands-on program with activities including feeding small animals, spinning wool, and milking Nellie (a wooden cow).
