Day in the Life of a Small Farm

A Busy Day on the Farm

The day begins with greetings and care for the farm’s dogs and other animals. The dogs are asked to wait calmly and behave around the livestock. The animals are then turned out to graze on fresh grass, and the farm’s newest residents get an inspection.

The farmer feeds Jenny, Molly, and Mr. Pablo, and gives Macho Man a surprise. One animal is sent to a new home in New Hampshire.

Garden and Grazing

The farmer checks on the garden, where the cabbages and other crops are doing well, though some plants could use more sun.

Later, livestock are moved into another paddock to graze. The farmer explains why grazing plans matter and notices insects beginning to gather around a cow pat.

The End of the Day

The dogs are praised, a deer is spotted, and the day ends with a look at the pond.

Notable names and places: Amanda, Toby, Abby, Macho Man, Jenny, Molly, and Mr. Pablo; a new home in New Hampshire; the farm’s garden, paddocks, and pond.
