What is Farm Camp?
Farm Camp is an opportunity for your child to experience what it is like on a daily basis at Donaldson Farms. Your children will make new friends, observe and participate in planting and harvesting activities, learn how to care for our ponies, create arts and crafts projects, enjoy healthy eating and living lessons, be inspired by farm fresh recipes, sample freshly picked fruits and vegetables and of course play great summer games!
Your children will have a great time while learning all about farming! We bet they’ll even sample fruits and veggies that they won’t try at home!
We look forward to providing a behind the scenes look at the daily workings of our modern family farm. Our goal is to provide a happy, safe, and memorable experience for the children. We hope that everyone comes away with an appreciation for agriculture and filled with the knowledge of where their food comes from.
