With spring comes new life

As spring finally makes its way in with rising temperatures thus melting snow, signs of new life are popping up—trees are budding; small starts of lilies, chives, and other first plants are poking through the mud; and baby animals are being born.

In Woodstock, Billings Farm & Museum will feature its annual Baby Farm Animal Celebration on Friday and Saturday, April 14-15, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. The Farm’s most popular event, the Baby Farm Animal Celebration has been expanded to two days and will feature the opportunity to meet the farm’s baby animals and attend family-centered programs. Wagon rides and heirloom seed and children’s craft activities also will be featured.
