A format of classic farm chores was featured including feeding animals, milking cows and collecting eggs.
Kit Bingham, who helps with programming at Primrose Farm in St. Charles Township, shows grain eaten by animals at the farm as part of the two-hour “Wake Up and Work” program on Saturday. With the work and school week over for many, Saturday is often a day to sleep in, but for visitors to the Primrose Farm in St. Charles Township, the work day was well underway by 8 a.m.
Once chores were done, staff at the farm offered a hearty country breakfast of waffles, bacon, fruit and more for those who had worked up an early morning appetite. Kennedy said the spring is the best time to offer the event “as we have calves now on site and some baby lambs as well as baby chicks.” Juliet’s mother Maureen Jeanblanc said this was the family’s first visit to the farm and that it was arranged “because we love animals and we wish to instill a sense of giving back in our family.”
Kit Bingham, who works at the farm and led Saturday’s program, talked about one of the cows that was going to milked and explained that morning process “can produce more than 30 pounds of milk.”Maureen’s husband Brad Jeanblanc said he has some experience with farm work.
