Farmhands Reflection and Promise in New Year
Today I saw the first green shoots of chives and yarrow emerging from the garden. Across the road from where I sit (in the Visitor Center of the Hutchinson Homestead and Learning Center), I see baby calves frolicking in the fields between nourishing themselves with their mothers milk. I can’t help but feel excited about the rejuvenation of life and endless Farmhands program possibilities for 2016!
Since planning efforts for summer 2016 programs have been in full swing lately it’s given me some time to reflect and reminisce about last summer. We kicked off our Farmhands summer camp 2015 fun with Farm Camp at Moonstone Farm and we capped off the season with Jr. Rancher Camp at the Hutchinson Homestead and Learning Center. In between, were 2 solid months of experiential fun and adventure on local farms and ranches throughout the Upper Arkansas Valley. Our programs were chock full of participants last summer, sometimes requiring waiting lists. Returning kids from previous summers and brand new campers joined our Farmhands family filling our days with rich and memorable experiences. All together we had 511 participants during our June and July Farmhands programs. We hope they all enjoyed their time on the farm and ranch last summer as much as we enjoyed having them and we look forward to seeing them again in 2016!
