Family Cow Connection at The Farm Institute

About Family Cow Connection at The Farm Institute Immerse your family in the heartwarming experience of being up close and personal with one of our favorite farm animals–cows! Come meet, cuddle, brush, and walk with our hand-raised cows at The Farm Institute! Enjoy a 45 minute Cow Connection session with cows, Venus and Puddles. This class is designed for children alongside their parents to get up close and personal with our friendly cattle in their paddock or pasture guided by a TFI Farmer. Not only can you enjoy the amazing benefits of Cow Connection, but our bovine friends will also benefit from the love and affection you provide. This will help in their training, handling, and temperament, making them amazing educational cows for all of our programming as well as our local 4H clubs that work with them. The capacity of this class is small to maintain an intimate personal experience. Do you like to paint, take photographs, meditate, practice yoga, or just visit cows and learn about them? Let us know and we can tailor the class to you. Space is limited to three groups to allow for more one on one time. This is an adult/child paired class, geared for ages 7 & up. We also offer this class for adults and teens – please click here for those classes. This is a weather-dependent program and will not run in inclement weather. You will be notified day of by e-mail if this program will not run. We will meet in front of our Katama Barn, please wear closed toed shoes.
