Play outside, in the winter, you’re joking right? No we are not! Following along with the Norwegian and Scandinavian philosophy of Friluftsliv, we will continue on our journey in environmental education, to facilitate a true connectedness to the more-than-human world through the winter months. Remember there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Our class time will consist of outdoor activities as well as indoor activities in The Cider Barn. This gives our Little Sprouts friends opportunities to explore outside but also have a space to warm up if needed. Little Sprouts are for children 2-5 to attend with their parent or caregiver. The themes for the winter session are announced until the week of class. Class will be held from 10:30am-12:00 pm at Snipes Farm, 890 Bridge Street, Morrisville PA. More information.

Sponsor a Sheep at Washington Crossing Park
As temperatures drop, the Thompson-Neely Farmstead team is preparing for another winter. We welcomed two new lambs to our flock of 13 sheep in July. That may not sound like many, but they require a lot of care – care that is largely supported by generous donors through our popular Sponsor a Sheep program. In addition to foraging 8-12 pounds of grass and plants every day, each sheep at the Thompson-Neely Farmstead needs supplies like hay, grain, and supplemental minerals. They also require veterinary care, medications, fresh straw bedding, and the loving attention of the park’s farmstead manager, Ross. You can help defray these costs by sponsoring a sheep.
