Photos: Spring time fun at Hallockville Museum Farm
Peconic Community School students visited Hallockville Museum Farm Thursday to learn about the growth and changes that accompany spring.
The students started their day with a two-mile hike lead by the museum’s executive director, Herb Strobel. After a short break for lunch the children learned how to plant seeds, some of which will later be planted outside their Main Road school building, said Kathyrn Quigley, co-executve director of the school.
Then it was cooking time, creating homemade pretzels which they enjoyed after some work on the farm — pulling bales of hay across the fields to the the farm’s cows.
The cows showed their appreciation by licking the students while they were being fed fresh hay, said 6-year-old Salomé Arboleda.
“They licked my hand, and I didn’t like it,” she said.
