Hands-On Experience: Roll up your sleeves and get ready to immerse yourself in farm life. Depending on your chosen activities, you might be feeding breakfast to 20+ farm animals or meeting up with Shelley for ranch activities. This hands-on approach not only teaches you practical skills but also connects you deeply with the agricultural environment.
