While agriculture is still one of the largest industries in Hancock County, many are now several generations removed from the farm.
How does our food get to the grocery store shelf or our dinner table?
Children ages 7-12 are invited to attend Farm Camp at the Hancock Historical Museum, June 26-29, 9 a.m.-noon daily, to explore our farming roots.
Sarah Sisser, museum director, said, "We’ll learn the science behind our soil and water, plant and tend a garden, learn the many different uses of herbs we can grow at home, prepare and enjoy basic farm-to-table cooking, meet some of the animals on the farm, and raise our own barn.
"We’ll also visit two Hancock County farms to learn more about what life was like on the farm 100 years ago, and what it’s like today."
The cost is $50 per child for members, $60 for nonmembers. The camp will be facilitated by Findlay City Schools educators.
Space is limited and reservations must be received by June 20. For more information, or to make a reservation, visit hancockhistoricalmuseum.org/events/farm-camp, or call (419)423-4433.
