Farming with Draft Animals

This four-day class is a unique opportunity to use oxen, horses, and donkeys to do real farm work. We immerse you in a wide variety of fieldwork: tillage, planting, hay harvesting, and cultivating—depending on the farm’s current needs and your personal interests! Part of each day is spent learning skills and the rest in field practice. Instructors help refine field work and draft animal handling. Assignments depend on skill, but we entrust you with real farm work. Activities flex with the weather.
