Come one, come all—it’s time to celebrate a summer well spent at Farm School! Join us on Friday, August 7th from 9–11 AM for a joyful, memory-filled morning packed with all the magic your little learners have come to love. Think sweet ice cream treats, hands-on crafts, face painting, lively yard games, and plenty of time to visit with our beloved farm animals. The fun doesn’t stop there! We’re excited to welcome Iowa Young Birders and special guests from the Iowa Arboretum for engaging, kid-friendly presentations. A farmstead scavenger hunt will send children on one last adventure, celebrating everything they’ve explored and discovered all summer long. And for an extra dose of wow: our friends from the Blank Park Zoo will be joining us with special programming, and maybe even a surprise animal guest. Best of all? This end-of-season celebration is completely complimentary. Rose Farm will release 500 tickets—so be sure to grab yours and join us for a magical send-off to summer.
