Meet The Kids At Kinder Farm Park

April showers bring May flowers, but spring is also known to bring another form of new birth – baby animals. This month, the Friends of Kinder Farm Park, the park’s livestock education program and the Kinder 4H program are collaborating to host an event for community members to meet many of the recently born baby animals at Kinder Farm Park.

Meet the Kids is an annual event that will take place this year on May 31 from 10:00am to 2:00pm in and around the park’s farm complex.

Attendees can look forward to meeting lots of cute kids, including little lambs, goats, piglets and quail. In the span of two weeks in March, eight lambs were born to moms Blossom, Sweater, Muffin, Rain and Fiona, and another sheep, Dinky, is due to give birth later in May. The farm staff expects goat moms Dolly, Malibu, Astrid and Bacardi to give birth in May and June. Chester White swine Stella gave birth to piglets in January, and three of them remain on the farm. Beginning in early May, 25 baby quail will call Kinder Farm Park their home as well.

With a focus on animal education, Meet the Kids will include fun activities mixed in, along with a beekeeper and animal-related vendors offering items such as sheep milk soap and lip balm, and sheep wool products. Food vendors are also expected at the event.

Meet the Kids is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. Gate fees at Kinder Farm Park will apply. For more information, look for updates at www.kinderfarmpark.org.
