Kids on the Farm | June 7 | REGISTER HERE

How much weight can two oxen pull?
Share daily life with your new friends on an early Western Reserve Farm! See the sheep, check on the chickens, observe the oxen at work, help with laundry and experience days on the farm.

Young Entrepreneur | June 14 | REGISTER HERE

How can a chore or hobby turn into a business?
The farmer takes products of agriculture needed for the home and turns it into a business. Take trips to town to deliver butter – and trade for a little food and fun! Do your neighbors need candles, or will the general store sell them for you? Learn about creating a business plan using what you have at hand.

Weaver’s Apprentice | June 21 | REGISTER HERE

How do we get a shawl from a sheep?
Wash wool and spin yarn, forage for dyestuffs, prepare dye and watch white wool be transformed into amazing color! Then use the new yarn to create a bit of cloth to keep.

Potter’s Apprentice | June 28 | REGISTER HERE

What happens before the potter sits at the wheel to throw his first pot of the day?
The General Store needs mugs to sell! Find out for the potter how many and what kind are the best sellers. Prepare clay for molding a mug (as much fun as playing in the mud!), and then shape a clay piece of your own.
