 Little
River Farms takes advantage of every opportunity to teach others
about farms and animals. We have hosted many school groups
and children of all ages who visit Little River Farms to learn
as much as they can about our farm animals.
We offer field
trips for one simple reason: we want children to know what life
on a farm is all about! Our fun, educational tour will
give children the opportunity to learn, and they will have the
unforgettable experience of going through our amazing Corn Maze.

Wednesday, December 13, 2006
Just wanted to let you know what a
GREAT time we had today! The kids loved all of it!
So many had not ever been around farm animals before and got a
real kick out of feeding and petting them. You were all SO
nice to the kids and very patient (which is not always easy).
We really appreciate the organization and friendliness! I
hope you all have a WONDERFUL MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Calhoun Pre-K
"The Orange Tigers"
May 3, 2007
We had a great day at the
farm today. All the orange tigers from Calhoun Pre-K had a fun
experience. The animals were such a delight and the playground
was a great addition. You couldn't have made a better choice.
The staff were also very patient and informative. If any one
reads this and is wondering if it is worth the time, YES!!!
Peace and quiet are sometimes things one needs to get to, and
away from the hustle and bustle of eveyday. Thank you so much
from the Orange Tigers. |
