Curious parents asked Pierce student volunteers questions while children laughed and screamed with excitement as they fed baby goats inside the goat petting zoo. At the equine center, people cheered riders on horseback who corralled cattle during the penning event.

Pierce Collegeʼs annual Farmwalk opened the farm to the public and educated people to an agricultural life within an urban city environment.

Activities included guided tours, cow milking contests, rodeo events and petting zoos that introduced and promoted Pierce Collegeʼs agricultural program to the community.
