Farm Hands Advanced Session 2025
Aug 4, 2025 - Aug 13, 2025, 8:30 am - 10:00 am, at Aldermere Farm
Maine Coast Heritage Trust invites youth ages 10 to 18 to get up close and personal with the Belted Galloway calves at Aldermere Farm, a historic saltwater farm preserve located at 20 Russell Avenue in Rockport. Aldermere Farm will host Farm Hands, a free, hands-on program for youth to practice haltering, grooming, and leading young calves. Participants will learn about our agricultural and animal handling practices, and provide an important community service to the farm by training calves, so they are easier to manage when they are full-grown.
The Advanced session is for continuing participants and will run for three consecutive weeks from 8:30am to 10am, M/T/W from August 4 through August 13. Space is limited.
Generous support from donors makes this educational program free for every participant.
