1. THE CRITTER BARN

2. Preserving Our Educational Mission The Critter Barn evolved from my own children’s experiences with the animals.

3. The KEY to having an educational farm is engaging your visitors and students in the care of the animals.

4. Because food is such a catalyst for behavior, strategies for safe feeding to include children were implemented. Every facility is different, and what we do here may not work for another farm unless there are adequate similarities, but most strategies used here should apply or provide ample suggestions.

5. Along with veterinary relationships, most routine grooming and animal husbandry is accomplished by staff. We offer opportunities to local colleges for vet students to assist in routine care.
