Merck Forest and Farmland Center Offers Spring Fun for Families

Join Merck Forest’s staff for an afternoon of farm fun with “Farm Chores.” Family-Fun Farm Chores is a great way to for families to experience part of Merck Forest and Farmland Center’s working landscape. From 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, April 19 through June 14, visitors are welcome to come up to MFFC’s beautiful hilltop farm for the farm chores program. You’ll help water and feed the animals, collect and wash eggs, and move animals to new pasture – all the while learning about life on the farm.

Spring Farm Chores cost $2 per individual. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Sign-up beforehand by calling 802-394-7836, as groups are limited to 20 people.
