NEW THIS YEAR: Animal Showcase!

Our Animal Care Co-op members are taking center stage at Harvest Festival to show off the animal handling and showmanship skills they’ve developed throughout the year!

From 12pm to 1pm and 2pm to 3pm, stop by for animal handling demonstrations and get the opportunity to join one of our Co-op members in walking and handling an animal.

Then, at 1pm, gather around for our Animal Showmanship Showcase, where Co-op members will show their animals in a county-fair-style experience and put their skills to the test on an obstacle course!
It’s a fun opportunity to meet our animals, learn from our Co-op members, and see firsthand what our Agriculture Education programs are all about.

Growing Together

One of the greatest parts of our Animal Care programs is that the learning doesn't stop with the children.

Families grow right alongside them.

Here's what one of our Animal Care Co-Op parents had to say:
"Participating in the Animal Care programs at Garrett Williamson has been a great benefit to my family. My kids and I have learned so much about the animals and have built our problem-solving skills together because I don't have all the answers either. Being at the farm and enjoying the animals and peaceful setting is a highlight of our week." - Natasha

At Garrett Williamson, animal care is about more than learning how to feed and care for animals. It's about asking questions, solving problems together, building confidence, and creating meaningful memories as a family.

Discover. Learn. Grow.
