Mass Audubon FARM EXHIBITS

2019

Lincoln, MA

Interactivity in Farming

Chickens, pigs, horses, ponies, goats and a garden involve and engage the public in a working farm while educating visitors on best land use practices.

The exhibits foster stewardship and an empathic understanding of our interconnectedness to how our food is grown and cared for by encouraging active play; ‘Learn the Brazilian way to Crow like a Chicken’, gather, sort and weigh eggs like a Farmer, compare your strength to a pony and your weight to a pig, are a few of the physical activities that honor a sense of play and humor.

Companion experiences present data and information on consumer choice, humane husbandry and global practices and include a children’s garden climb structure with a potato tunnel and the ‘Know Your Food’ outdoor exhibit where kids can lift tubers.
