There are sheep, chickens, horses and pigs at Tocal. It’s fun watching them. But they don’t like us to follow them. If we follow them they feel they are being chased and they get frightened.

Our guides will tell us about all things we will see and do during our day at Tocal. Someone will ring the old bell when it is time to move to the next activity.

The activities we do show us how chores were done 150 years ago. We will use water in some activities.

In the old kitchen the light is a little bit dim and my eyes might take a minute to adjust. The guide will explain how they did the chores before electricity came to the farm.

When I am in the house I will need to walk around carefully without touching things. It’s nice to look at all the things.

Some things in the house are very unusual. I will be able to find out about them. I can only touch things if the guide says its ok.

When we walk around the farm we will see different things and smell different smells.
