Program Description
November - December only Program Length: 2.5 hours Come to the farm this winter for a truly unique historic experience. Through hands-on activities and role-playing, students will have the opportunity to fully engage in farm life as it was in the 1870’s. Students will learn about caring for animals when they visit the barn and learn to groom a pony, as well as meet our resident sheep, chickens, and rabbits. They will learn to milk our life size model cow and will hand churn butter the old fashioned way. Students will be immersed in the era through role-playing in the general store and will also hand dip candles to take home. They will become apprentices to the tin-smith and will create their very own punched tin luminary. To schedule your program, email ccefarmgroups@cornell.edu. There is a minimum of 10 students.
