Farms, Friends & Fairytales

Learn about California’s rich agricultural history and watch a live sheep shearing! Our twin Babydoll sheep will be sheared at 11 AM & 1 PM. Then watch as the wool is spun into yarn using an old fashioned spinning wheel. Farmer Brown will also be on hand throughout the day with some of his barnyard buddies for up-close introductions. Enjoy farm themed hands-on activities, a mini-farmer’s market and visit with local area farms and organizations to learn more about the nation’s top agricultural state.

Farms, Friends & Fairytales is free with paid park admission.

This program is made possible in part by ScholarShare College Savings Plan.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
