Come and visit the animals
Educational seminars on raising rabbits, horses, goats, bees, pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry
Admission is $10 adults, $5 children
The 4 main goals of this event are:
-To create public awareness of the agriculture industry and where their food comes from
-To encourage/offer resources to individuals looking to get into livestock farming for the first time or expand
-To provide a networking opportunity to established farmers
-Highlight the importance of preserving heritage breeds of livestock for future generations
There will be seminars running all day on caring for the various types of livestock as well as live animals on site the public can visit and ask more detailed questions to the breeders. Living in a society that has lost touch with where there food really comes from this event offers a peek into how their food is produced.
A petting zoo will also be setup inside for the younger crowd to enjoy!
