## About

Thursday-morning barnyard sessions for little farmers and their caregivers at Weir River Farm in Hingham. Children meet the goats, pigs and other animals up close and join age-appropriate activities and small adventures around the farm, with staff guiding the hour. It is recommended for ages 2 to 5; infants in carriers come along free, and a grown-up must stay — this is not a drop-off program. Pre-registration is required, sessions run rain or shine, and dogs are not allowed on the working farm.
