McCloud’s Girl Scouts got to enjoy a day on the farm to learn about gardening, raising animals, and working a wood mill.
This is the 3rd year of Troop 70081, which is made up of Juniors, seniors and Cadets, ranging from 9 to 14 years of age. They were fortunate to visit the farm called ‘Hogs and Hoes’ on the outskirts of McCloud, owned by Dave and Jessy Meeker-Moore.
First, they got to visit the pigs and all got to hold three-week-old piglets. They got to learn about the Kuna breed that originated from New Zealand and that in the Māori language, the name Kuna means, “fat and round.” They learned that pigs are intelligent as the mother of the piglets named Teensy, would sit on command.
