Barnyard Buddies is designed for Kindergarten; however, we are happy to scale this program to meet learning expectations for other grade levels or learning abilities.
Explore a Real Ranch!

Barnyard Buddies is a fun, age appropriate "Learning in the Field" program created just for Kindergartners.

Activities / Experiences Include:   
  • Farm Sorting and Counting - While learning about our chickens, Kindergartners will understand the purpose of counting and sorting on a ranch.  
  • Barnyard Dance:  Kindergartners will perform Sandra Boyton's "Barnyard Dance" and visit CALF's livestock.
  • My Plate Food Relay:  Your students will make connections between the 5 food groups and agriculture. 
  • Exploring the Field: Kindergartners will explore a "field" with magnifying glasses and observe where plants grow. Each student will plant and take home their own seed necklace.  


​Barnyard Buddies starts at 10 am at CALF's Lowell Ranch on Plum Creek (about 3 miles south of Castle Rock).
