Socialization Events

The Barn hosts several socialization events throughout the year which are open to those in our Barn Family and new friends looking for a fun time at the farm! Socialization Events are wonderful opportunities for Barn families to meet one other as well as for prospective families to visit The Barn and learn more about our programming. These events are celebrations of our community in which families and friends meet our furry farm friends, explore our Outdoor Learning Center and enjoy our Barn loft.
