Mission
- The Critter Barn is dedicated to educating children about animals, farming, food and fiber sources, and ag-science careers. As local farms disappear, children need places where they can learn to care for animals in a “hands on” way and enjoy all the experiences of a real farm.
Vision
- To impact children with the importance of farming to our future.
- To make learning at a real farm enjoyable, by our hands-on approach, interactive teaching style with the animals, and one-on-one relationships with children.
- To teach an age appropriate understanding of sustainability, inspiring children to appreciate the wonders of nature and protect the world they live in.
- To instill a love and respect for all of creation
The Future...
- The Critter Barn is looking beyond our present three-acre farm. To better accommodate our expanding programs and increased attendance, we are considering a larger facility. Stay tuned....
