New Faces

3/21/2013

This spring, as it happens every spring, the Howell Farm barnyard is filled with new faces:

-Tiny chicks arrived in the mail yesterday and are staying warm in the coal-fired brooder.

-New piglets are staying warm huddled up in the corner of the pig house.

-A new team of oxen (more on them soon) arrived from Maine over the weekend.

-Two baby lambs are growing bigger by the day in the sheep barn. (Update: A third lamb was born just this morning.)

This Saturday, animal visiting hours are from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
