If it fits on your lap, we’ll help you hold it.
Is there anything cuter than a new lamb? Or softer than a day-old chick? Well, maybe it’s the curly tail of a tiny piglet, or the agile jumps of a week-old kid.
All will be on display, and ready for a cuddle, beginning this weekend on John and Julie Govin’s farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin. It’s their annual Lambing Barn and Farm Babies event . “Our motto is – If it fits in your lap, we’ll help you hold it,” said John during our Deep Roots Radio chat. An easy drive from the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota metro area, the Govins have welcomed thousands of visitors – young and old – to this event for the last 16 years.
The Lambing Barn runs four weekends in 2021: March 20-21; March 27-28; April 2-3, and April 10-11. This spring, he’s taken extra COVID-19 measures to promote wellness and fun on the farm. If you’re into agritourism, the Govin’s farm offers many activities through the summer and fall.
I hope you enjoy this interview with John, and go online to purchase tickets to this spring time event. I’m going Saturday, March 20th, and hope to see your there!
