Plants |
Greenhouses |

Children will learn about organic plants, our greenhouses, and gardens. This year we've produced organic eggplant, green beans, potatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, cantaloupe, broccoli, radishes, turnips, beats, seven different delicious varieties of lettuce, and various tomatoes. |
Animals |
Donkey Donkey |
|
 |
Donkey Donkey is his name, and yes, he's a donkey. But, he's not just any ole donkey, he's a miniature donkey who likes to hang with his best friend, El Toro the miniature Zebu bull. He especially likes to have his neck scratched and loves to meet new people. |

Amber is a miniature sheep (Ewe). She likes to hang out with her best friend Dandelion and her boyfriend Thorn. She is content eating grass and checking out curious things in the barn lot. She, like all sheep, does not like loud noises! |
Sugar |

Sugar and her kid Dots are our most impressive ambassadors. Sugar is a miniature goat. The minute she sees someone coming to the fence she has to investigate and everyone else follows. She loves to be scratched, talked to, and be fed by hand. She loves kids. |
El Toro |

El Toro loves to be bottle fed and his favorite thing to do is hang with his buddy Donkey Donkey. El Toro is a miniature Zebu bull and when mature will only be 30 to 32 inches tall. |
Isabella |

Wilbur |

 |
Wilbur is a miniature pot belly big who likes to eat! So, we have to control the amount of food he gets. Wilbur likes to root in the dirt and will eat nearly anything. When he wags his tail you'll know he's happy. Wilbur loves being talked to and kids. He likes to walk around on his leash and meet new people. |
Charlotte |
|
 |
Charlotte is also a miniature pot belly pig. She, like Wilbur, likes to eat but she is much smaller than Wilbur. She enjoys visits to events like "Alive after five" and especially likes to go shopping at Lowes and Pet Smart. She just loves being anywhere she can meet kids. |
Fuzzy |
|
|
Fuzzy is a one year old red & white Alpaca.Fuzzy is very curious and a new addition to HarvestWorks so he may be a bit shy. |
Q-Tip |
|
|
Q-Tip is a 9 year old gelding Alpaca. He is solid white and like Fuzzy is curious about new things. Like Fuzzy Q-Tip's only defense mechanism is spitting when he's frightened. |
