Farmhouse in the City

Update: Farmhouse in the City has tons of activities during the summer, too! On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, they have playgroups for preschoolers at 10:30 for $8. Your child can experience dress-up, crafts, storytime, and pottery. On Wednesday afternoons, school-age children can take a creative canvas class. Click here for the calendar.

I don't know how many people remember Holy Cow Farm, a funky little farm/art location in Alpharetta. It wasn't open that long, and the last time we went the owner said they might have to move locations, but it was very sweet and fun for kids. Well, apparently it's been reinvented as "Farmhouse in the City." It's still in Alpharetta, and they still have animals and art events, but they are located in a cottage downtown now instead of a farm.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, they have Mommy and Me classes for preschoolers called "Little Pig-Casso." The children can do an art project, meet an animal, and hear an animal story. If the weather is nice, you can play outside in the garden afterwards. The classes are 10:30-12:00 and cost $10 for the first child and $5 for siblings. No reservations are required.

They also offer after-school classes for school-aged children, birthday parties, art camps, and "Girls' Night Out" painting parties for adults.

Good to know: Their website is a bit confusing to navigate, but you can email specific questions to Robin at robin@holycowfarm.com. She's very good about returning emails. It looks like this week (May 26-29) may be the last Mommy and Me class for the summer, but it would be a good week to go since the weather looks bad!
