Saturday One-Day Workshops
Each season, we at Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc. (a non-profit, children’s charity), offer Saturday One-Day Workshops. One is different each year. These programs offer a variety of topics that are of interest to “our kids” and are equally good for first timers as well as alumni students that want to brush up on the topics. Either way, come learn at and enjoy our Farm Program and see all our “educators,” our Farm Program animals. We look forward to you joining us!
