Scout Badges

We are an official program provider for Girls Scouts and certified merit badge counselor for Boy Scouts. Badge programs can be inside or outside.

Story Time Programs

Story time visits are a great option for our younger friends. Families enjoy animal related books, a few fun facts then pet the real animals. We can always customize a special visit to fit the audience, age or theme.

Read to a Rabbit Programs

Our read to a rabbit program is a great way to encourage students to build confidence and have fun while reading. Participants can sit in the pen with the rabbits for an up close and personal experience.

Workplace Wellbeing Visits

Our workplace wellbeing visits are a great way to boost morale, lower stress, increase productivity and make memories at work.

Reptiles

While many adults may not pick a reptile as the first option for an animal program, many children and students would love the chance to meet one up close and personal. Fear is learned and we would like to teach kindness and respect for the reptiles. The tortoise and ball pythons are a great addition to visits especially with certain related themes.

Photo Shoots

Animals are available for photo shoots and theater shows. An experienced handler accompanies the animals for safety and to help capture the perfect moment. Our animals may even smile for the picture!

YouTube Videos & Spreading Smiles

Throughout 2020 we were unable to do our educational programs or in person visits but we still wanted to spread smiles! Please subscribe to our YouTube channel and continue to enjoy Friday Fun Facts, Story Time Tuesdays and other animal videos.

Virtual Programs

2020 brought many changes to Farm Friends! Our virtual visits were an exciting new option. Students, parents and teachers enjoyed our programs from the comfort and safety of their own homes. We offered themed monthly programs virtually. Now programs can be enjoyed in person!

"Our students LOVE earning a visit from Ms. Amanda at Farm Friends! Her presentations are creative, informative and FUN! We love all of her real-life examples. She helps students develop connections to real-life experiences. Her interactive presentation on skeletons taught students about vertebrates and invertebrates today- and they were super engaged the whole time! We are so grateful to have something that makes our virtual lessons more meaningful and fun for students! Thank you Farm Friends!"
