Where family memories are created!

Fall Activities

Have you ever wondered how the fur of an animal can be turned into clothing? This year’s topic for the Ag-Ed field trips will be “Llama to Loom”. Not only will we feed the animal that can produce the wool, we will explore the washing, carding, spinning, and dying the soft fibers that eventually are woven or knitted into garments.
