Zenger Farm is so awesome! We already knew this from previous visits (Friday tour, honeybee festival, etc.), so we couldn't wait to spend another morning there with friends for a guided tour. The kids were on a hunt for insects, of which we found a few. We learned about bees, orchards, wetlands, a variety of snails, organic standards for raising chickens, and so much more. We also learned that chickens prefer cauliflower to kale and some of those hens are quite loud. After the tour, my two children and I hung out with our friend
Flat Ellie (in photos below) around the roving chicken coop, the Children's Garden, consumed the rainbow chard with our eyes, and revisited the compost pile. Hannah has asked repeatedly to join the chicken co-op and collect eggs once a week. Until she has thoroughly convinced me to take on this responsibility (and all the joys that come with it), we are planning another carefree return visit to Zenger Farm.
