We are saddened to share that one of our favorites has passed away. We rescued this girl from the euthanasia list at Rochester Animal Control in 2012. She has lived her best life as a friendly and welcoming face at Red Barn 😺. You could find her on a lap, rummaging in the garbage can, stealing sandwiches or greeting guests at the front desk. "Ruby", we will always remember your loud purr and sweet personality. 🩷

Last weekend, our resident farmer, Wesley, was awarded the American FFA (Future Farmers of America) degree.

The American Degree is awarded to less than 2% of FFA members nationwide, recognizing an exceptional level of dedication to their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE). Through their SAEs, members develop valuable skills in finance, organization, work ethic, and record keeping.

To earn this prestigious honor, members must complete a detailed application and participate in an interview process.

Wesley did his SAE about his experience living and working at Red Barn Learning Farm. He started this project in 9th grade and worked on it for 4 years. We are so proud of him!

We hope you had a Happy Halloween! Thank you to everyone for a great 2025 season at the farm. We look forward to seeing ...

Our public hours are finished for the season, but we still have some pumpkins left! They are self-serve at the end of our driveway. We cut most of the remaining big carvers from the patch - they still have a little green, but will turn orange soon. Enjoy! 🎃
