Easter On The Farm

The snow may be flying, but that will soon give way to  green grass, flowers, eggs and yes, bunnies!  It is also the arrival of one of our favorite holidays (ok, they are all favorites :)…. Easter,   and one of our Free Family Fun Days, Easter On The Farm! 

This is a day filled with the hope of springtime and celebrating the season with  visits by the Easter Bunny, a flower bar (so you can make your own beautiful arrangement for the holiday), fun crafts & games, hayrides, visits with our animal friends, and a new experience this year: a Hippity Hoppity Dance Party… so much fun!

We will also be hosting 3 timed egg hunts… our “Eggstravaganza” (which requires separate registration).  Of course you want to come, right?  Here’s how:

First, click the Blue button to register for the Easter On The Farm events itself.  It’s free, but we do have limited space…  this will help us prepare knowing the number of people attending. 

Next, if you have a child(ren) wanting to participate in an egg hunt, click the Pink link 🙂 to get them registered for a specific timed hunt (separate registration from the event itself, and each child must be registered individually). 

If you’d like to be a sponsor for our event, click the Yellow button to learn more or donate to sponsor part of this community fun.

Of course, you know we’re always excited to have all of you here with us celebrating family fun at the farm!  See you there?

Pathways, Petunias, Piglets & Pancakes

Who can resist pancakes and fresh coffee with family/friends on a Saturday morning at the farm?  Did we forget to mention adorable piglets and lots of free & fun stuff to do?  We hope you’ll join us… we know you’ll  be pleased with this pleasantly playful proceeding 🙂  Click the blue link to register… as always, there is limited space available.

If you’d like to be a sponsor for this event , click the yellow button to sponsor or learn more.  All proceeds benefit our Barnyard Buddies & kids programming.  Thank You!

Read Entire Policy

Clarkston Family Farm Policy Statement on Political Activity

To comply with IRS regulations and protect our tax-exempt status:

1.  No Political Campaign Events

Our facilities, programs, and resources may not be used to promote, support, or oppose any candidate for elected public office.  This includes campaign rallies, fundraisers, or events that could reasonably be perceived as partisan political activity.

2.  Equal Access for Non-Campaign Events

We welcome educational, cultural, and community events that align with our mission.  If outside groups rent or use our facilities, they must do so under our standard rental/use policies and agreements.  Political campaigns may not use our property unless all candidates for the same office are offered the exact same opportunity, under the same terms and conditions, and the organization remains strictly neutral.

3.  Issue Advocacy vs. Campaigning

We may host events that discuss important public issues connected to our mission (sch as sustainable agriculture, food systems, and environmental education).  However, such events will not endorse or oppose candidates or political parties.

4.  Clarity of Organizational Neutrality

Any event held at our facilities must make clear that the Clarkston Family Farm does not endorse any candidate, political party, or campaign.
