Welcome back little farmers! We are back for a new round of classes this year and of course that means babies are back on the farm. We have little chicks and we are excited to show you hands on care for these little guys. We will go over feeding, habitat setup, common ailments, and sanitary care. We will also talk about their development into a full grown chicken. This is a perfect class for those new to small animals on your backyard farm and their basic care.

Meet the cotters
Cotter (noun) : a peasant farmer
We are three close family members who are all farming and homesteading hobbyists. We love raising animals and we love growing our own food. We saw a need in the community for young kids to learn these backyard practical skills and we wanted to fix that!
Farmer Jessica: Our very very humble leader. Farmer Jessica has been raising backyard animals for 10 plus years and is never too far away from her favorite blind duck Stevie.
Fun Fact: She didn’t start her first vegetable garden till her 30’s.
Farmer Peter: Everybody’s favorite funny guy is Famer Jessica’s older brother. He is often found helping out others for the small wage of an ice cold tea.
Fun Fact: He loves to cook fresh veggies in his beloved wok.
Farmer Felisha: The youngest squirt to the cotters. She is Farmer Jessica’s oldest daughter and by far the coolest. (No, she is definitely not writing these bios).
Fun Fact: She listens to the Bible on audio while she waters her home garden.
