Lambing Day to be Held at Howell Farm

by MercerMe Staff

Twin lambs, newly hatched chicks and baby pigs are among the dozens of new faces you will find at Howell Living History Farm this spring, as well as a new colony of bees.

On Saturday, April 1, visitors to the 130-acre working farm will be able to meet these animals from 11am to 3pm during the farm’s annual Lambing Day. Throughout the day, farmers will be present in the sheep barn, henhouse and pigpen to introduce visitors to the new babies born this spring. Visitors to the main barn will be able to meet the farm’s workhorses and oxen. Parking and admission are free.

Howell Farm is owned by the County of Mercer and maintained by the Mercer County Park Commission. It is located on Valley Road, just off Route 29, in Hopewell Township.  The GPS address is 70 Woodens Lane, Hopewell Township, N.J. 08530.

For more information about the farm, call (609) 737-3299 or visit www.howellfarm.org or www.mercercountyparks.org.
