- Starting July 8th: Aldermere Youth Farm Hands
In Farm Hands, Youth ages 11-14 work with the young Belted Galloway calves learning to halter and lead them. This provides a community service to the Farm because it allows the calves to get use to being around people, and to be well tempered and manageable. Participants also learn about important agricultural and conservation issues. The summer program culminates with a trip to the Union Fair to see the 4-H participants fit and show their cattle. There will be one 8 week long session of Farm Hands in the summer. The program will run on Thursdays from 9-11, starting July 8th and running until August 26th.
