What Your Group Will Experience at Lovely Hen

This is a guided, kid-friendly farm visit designed to be educational, interactive, and FUN—with plenty of time to explore, laugh, and make memories.

1) Welcome + Farm Safety Rules (5 minutes)
We’ll greet your group, review simple rules, and get everyone ready for a smooth visit.

2) Meet the Chickens (the favorite part!)
Kids will get to:

• See a variety of chickens up close

• Learn what chickens eat, drink, and need to stay healthy

• Watch chicken behavior and hear fun chicken facts

• Enjoy a supervised interaction moment (gentle petting/holding when appropriate)

3) Egg & Coop Learning (simple + exciting)

• Where eggs come from (kid-friendly explanation)

A sensory garden moment where students can:

• Smell and taste kid-safe herbs (when available)

• Enjoy flowers, plants, and the peaceful feel of the farm

5) Break Time Under the Tents
We provide a shaded break area with picnic tables so your group can relax, snack, and reset.

  Younger children can do a guided hunt so everyone gets eggs.
