Mucking the Goat Barn: May 15, 10-5
Join us on Sunday May 15th from 10-5 for one of our favorite annual farm chores: mucking out the goat barn!
You get to hang out with our awesome goats and their really cute babies while cleaning out the old bedding straw in the barn. Yes! it is smelly. And yes! we make it really fun. Projects include loosening the bedding straw, pitching it into wheelbarrow (with a pitchfork!), and wheeling barrow loads of bedding into the muck pile.
Dress for the weather - snacks provided. Come for an hour or the whole day, meet us at the barn at the end of the driveway.

Learn more about Willow Creek Forest School
Willow Creek Forest School is TLC Farm's outdoor, place-based preschool for children 3-5 years old.
Children enjoy a consistent daily rhythm in which they can allow their imaginations to blossom and be immersed in the magic of the forest, while learning to be good stewards to the land and each other. The flow of the day includes: crafts, homesteading skills, plant medicine-making, snack time provided by the school (including bread baked in the cob oven!), circle time, plenty of time in the forest and special festival days – all guided by songs and stories inspired by the changing seasons on the land.
School runs for 9 months, Tuesday-Thursday from 9:30am-1:30pm, with an option to add aftercare each day until 3:00. Visit WillowCreekForestSchool.org for more information and to enroll.

Become a Friend of the Farm!
Mon, 04/15/2019 - 11:43am — brenna
We're in the midst of a campaign to grow our Friends of the Farm - the committed, generous, creative people who sustain TLC Farm through monthly donations - with a goal of rasing $100 more per month. This could look like 10 people giving $10 per month, or 4 people giving $25, or all the other possible combinations!
TLC Farm is committed to keeping our land and programs econimically accessible, which means our programs are offered on a sliding scale and we work to make use of the land available to all groups, regardless of ability to pay. Our generous donors help make this approach possible. Become a Friend of the Farm today!
It makes a difference to become a Friend of the Farm!
Stability: Our program income and other fundraising is cyclical, ebbing and flowing throughout the year; regular contributions from Friends provide a reliable source of income each month to meet our financial obligations.
Joy: It feels great to give, and it feels great to receive – generosity makes everyone involved happier.
Leverage: Honestly, it looks good to foundations and major donors to have a solid base of regular financial supporters. Providing stability helps us obtain larger donations.
Demonstration of the Grassroots: As witnessed with the “Save the Farm” campaign, thousands of people each giving what they can really does add up to significant numbers. TLC Farm is an inspiring demonstration of the spirit of community, part of which is regular giving.
Help us meet our goal: become a Friend of the Farm and THANKS!
