Close Encounters of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Kind


Pictured here is a 3-Day-old Olde English Miniature Babydoll Southdown sheep bred at Sugarsweet Farm in Olivenhein. This little fella visited our art students at Art Farm on Saturday, where he followed them around as best he could, given that he's still learning to work those legs. He was beyond cute.

Babydolls are a miniature breed with sweet temperaments and faces that look like they are always smiling. They are hardy and make great little lawnmowers. Hobby farmers like them because they handily keep the weeds down without being tall enough to strip leaves and low-hanging fruit out of trees.

A reminder that Art Farm will be participating at Kid's Day at the Flower Fields on March 27, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is a free event. Art Farm will have a booth with an art project, as well as registration forms for summer camp and other information about Art Farm. We will also have a raffle. The winner wins a certificate good for a one-week session at Carlsbad Art Farm Summer Camp. Tickets are $1. We hope to see you there!

Registration for Summer Camp is now open. For information and registration forms, visit our website. For our latest postings and information about classes, seminars, camps, Open House events and other Art Farm news, we recommend subscribing to this blog as a follower.

Art Farm's Coming to Flower Fields March 27

Mark your calendars! Carlsbad Art Farm is joining the fun at Kid's Days at The Flower Fields in Carlsbad on Saturday, March 27. The event is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Look for our booth
where students can learn how to make pictures from die-cut paper leaves in the images of animals and birds. Once you get the idea, you can collect and press your own leaves to make fantastic creatures.

We will also have information and registration materials for the 2010 Art Farm Summer Camp season beginning June 14 and continuing through mid-August. We will be raffling off a certificate worth $315 good for a one-week session during the 2010 Summer Camp season. Students must be entering grades 2 -8 next fall to attend camp. Sorry, no exceptions.

Summer Camp enrollment is now open for a unique experience your young artist won't forget. Don't let that kid get left standing in the barn this summer. Early registration is recommended. To register online today, visit our website at CarlsbadArtFarm.com and click on the "Camp" tab.
