Da-Le Ranch

A friend of mine and I recently took our group of 8 kids, ages 2 - 10, to visit Farmer Dave at the Da-Le Ranch. We went primarily to see and learn about the worms but were excited to see all aspects of the Ranch. Farmer Dave was great with the kids. He really brought the information down to their level while still teaching them proper terms and explaining each step of worm farming.

Farmer Dave not only taught us about the worms but he also let each of the kids getting a chance to help separate the castings, grab a handful of worms and use their senses to understand the differences between the unprocessed manure and the worm processed castings. He also took us on a tour of the rest of the Ranch. He let the kids help feed and water the pigs, rabbits and chickens. They helped him collect eggs and round up a few of the chickens.

We all had a great time. It was very educational and hands-on; a perfect field trip experience. We highly recommend taking a tour of the Da-Le Ranch and learning first hand how worms help our enviroment and our backyards.
