JUNIOR CARETAKERS

Some of our best volunteers at Storybook Farm have been the Junior Caretakers. On Tuesday afternoons we provide children ages 8-12 with the experience of farm chores and animal care. They will get to feed animals, groom animals, grow and tend the vegetable and flower gardens, in a Christ centered environment.
