Hands-on Fun for Fall at Slide Ranch
Slide Ranch is a great place for family members of all ages. We tried out one of their family farm days in the past and my kids had a great time petting the sheep planting seeds, milking a goat, and making nature crafts. They offer guided tours and lots of hands-on activities, including milking goats, collecting eggs from chickens, planting seeds, sampling from their organic garden, learning to make crafts and food just like the early farmers, and exploring the nearby tide pools.
Slide Ranch is located off of Shoreline Highway in Muir Beach. Below is a list of their upcoming fall events. Registration is open now! Sign up as soon as possible, as their programs usually sell out way in advance. Slide Ranch members get early access to registration, so consider joining.
