Women's Lambing at Overlook Farm

Women's Lambing enables participants to immerse themselves in the daily rhythms of a working farm while learning basic animal husbandry skills with specific focus on the birthing process of goats, sheep, swine, cattle, rabbits and the hatching of chicks. Paticipants will experience a blend of facilitated discussions, experiential learning activities, direct interaction and work with farm animals. It's a beautiful way to spend your spring vacation and learn more about how animals can help lift families out of poverty.

Participants will experience a blend of facilitated discussions, experiential hands-on learning activities, direct interaction and work with farm animals, and the camaraderie of living and learning with a diverse group of women.

The Women's Lambing Birthing at Overlook Farm may include:

• Courses on birthing kids and lambs
• Birth checks
• Farm Chores
• Tours of the Farm
• Educational sessions focusing on Heifer's work throughout the world

And the big question—
Will I definitely see a birth?
You will most likely see one species of animal give birth but there are no guarantees as Overlook does not induce birth. The program provides a plethora of learning opportunities (and fun!) regardless of the births.

The programs below are all held at Overlook Farm.
