Trades and Their Tools

Farm life requires working with a variety of tools and implements to "get the job done". With the guidance of blacksmiths, woodworkers and weavers, campers will engage and hone their hands-on skills and creativity in working with wood, fiber, and more. Our guest tradespeople, visits to our antique machinery and authentic cobbler shop exhibits and grinding feed for our resident animals will all inspire campers to learn to work with their hands and "get the job done".  To end the week, campers will take a ride around the farm on a more modern machine, a tractor pulled wagon!
