SUMMARY:Story Time with Farmer Ben
DESCRIPTION:Story Time with Farmer Ben\nThursday\, July 28\, 5 PM\nBook: How To Eat a Peach by Karen Schaufeld. \nKaren is a Loudoun-based children’s author and has written four books\, including one that is perfect for summer\, titled “How to Eat a Peach.” This book is about a squirrel with an unusual passion for peaches. In addition to Farmer Ben reading the story\, Karen’s team will be available sharing her work. \nAuthor’s Note\nHow to Eat a Peach is a story about following your passion. I loved writing this book depicting a character\, Squirrel\, who is not going to give up on his goal.  What a powerful message we send to children when they hear stories of determination. I also love that near the end\, Girl Squirrel also achieves the same goal but attains it differently\, showcasing to children that not all paths to one goal look the same. I hope that this fable (and the others) prompts questions and discussion between the reader and child.

SUMMARY:Feathered Fosters - Week 2
DESCRIPTION:Be part of the Farm and your own food cycle! Bring home a pair of baby broiler chicks for a week and live a miniature agricultural experience in your own home. This is a great opportunity for families to share in the joys of Spring on the farm without worrying about the long-term needs of growing livestock. \nYour foster chicks will come with a box to house them for the week\, food\, bedding\, and complete instructions for their care. You’ll need to provide a place for the box inside your home that is free of drafts and safe from curious pets. Baby chicks cannot effectively regulate their own body temperature\, so your box will also need to be properly set-up with a desk lamp and 100 watt incandescent bulb for extra warmth. \nAdvance reservations through this form are required. \nPick Up Location: Willowsford Farm Stand\nPick Up Chicks: Saturday April 2 between 1 PM and 3 PM\nReturn Chicks: Saturday April 9 between 1 PM and 3 PM \n*Please note\, our staff is fully occupied during spring in preparing crops for your upcoming CSA season! We are not able to accept early returns of chicks\, because of this we ask that you only register if you’re able to commit for the full week. Thank you for your understanding.
