Rose Creek Farms Childrens Event:

• Chicken Run: April 24th, 2013 9:30am – 12:30pm. Day’s events was a so much fun! Here are a few pics to share with you. The kids had a great time learning about our fowl friends. In the classroom we learned all about "from the egg to the plate! They toured the farm and played games called Ah! Soh! Gi! “Your outta here!”and the hula hoop squirm, squiggle and Blawk!. Had lunch and played with the chickens. The kids had a great time visiting the farm. We did too!

• We had some really rough weather a couple of nights ago. The wind got up very high. We got hail but fortunately the hail stones were only marble size. We did lose some plants. They were beaten pretty bad.

• On a good note the summer veggies are growing great and the gardens look wonderful!

• We had a great time in the “The basics of Soft Cheeses, Butter and Yogurt Class” held on May 11th, 2013. Everyone was excited to learn about the health benefits of those high probiotic foods. Class information is based on the Weston A. Price foundation. A Nutritional Food Foundation.

Remember: We do give you money back on the undamaged glass jelly jars and rings. We can refund you $0.50 cents each for those that are returned back in great shape.

Remember: We do take used egg cartons that are still in good shape. It helps with the environment and help us keep the cost down.
