North Bend Farm Life 4-H Club learns the hands on way
Trending
NORTH BEND -- What do the 4-H Farm Life and Cloverbuds do with a day off of school? They take a field trip.
The kids and volunteers got the chance for some hands-on experience with a few farm animals thanks to Barb O'Brien and her little homestead. The kids had the opportunity to feed the goats, chickens and ducks.
Pauline Bloom, a Cloverbud, stepped out of her comfort zone with the help of Club Leader Midge Kramer and retrieved an egg out of the hen house. Pauline was able to keep the egg and took it home and made scrambled eggs with it.
4-H’ers Willow and Lenox even had the opportunity to hold the baby goats.
Cloverbud Lenox wrangled himself a chicken to show everyone it is possible to catch and hold one.
The field trip ended back at the church where the kids made their own personal pizza using the recipe out of the 4-H Cooking 101 book.
Needless to say some of their pizza inventions were quite entertaining -- some ventured out and tried new toppings to see if they would enjoy them.
The next club meeting will be Feb. 5, where the kids will continue learning about farm animals.
