Spring is a great time of year. The snow melts away then comes back then melts away again. The grass starts to turn green. You can start planning and getting your garden ready to plant.
It is also when animals start growing their families. On a farm with lots of animals, spring is a busy time taking care of all the new piglets, calves, bunnies, ducklings and more. It would be so fun to see all those sweet little animals.
Butterfield Acres is a farm here in Calgary where you can go and experience animals on a farm. Their facility is set up for you to learn and get hands on.
Butterfield Acres has just opened for their spring season. They start every year with Barnyard Baby Days. You will want to bring the whole family to “aww” over all the cute babies.
