This September, youth ages 10 to 18 are invited 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, experiential program for youth to practice haltering, grooming, and leading young calves. Participants will learn about agriculture and best practices for handling livestock while providing an important community service to the farm by helping train calves, so they are easier to manage when they are full-grown.

 

Schedule

The program will run for three consecutive weeks from September 11th – 27th, 2023, every Monday and Wednesday from 3:30 to 5:00 PM.
