Farm Hands

Farm Hands is the premier program for youth ages 10-18 at Aldermere Farm where participants work with the young Belted Galloway calves learning to halter train, groom, 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, conservation, and environmental issues as well as skills such as teamwork, trust, and patience.

Registration requests are processed on a first come first served basis. You will be notified if there is room for you to join.

This program is free for every participant thanks to generous support from donors.
