We think it's important to provide experiences that encourage connections between people, the natural environment, farming and the cultural heritage of the high plains area of Colorado for people of all ages. The Country Kids Foundation provides opportunities for hands-on experiences to youth who may never have the chance to visit a farm or experience nature in the raw.

Flower Garden
December 2009 Sams Club generously donated to The Country Kids Foundation over 15,000 flower bulbs to be planted in a garden for the purpose of providing another educational opportunity for children. December 21st, the day before our first December storm, several volunteers from all over the Eastern Plains donated their time to plant these bulbs in a space provided by May Farms in Byers.
Because we got them in so late we are hoping that they do bloom and have faith that we will at least get a few! I will continue to post progress and pictures so that you all can follow along the progress of this flower garden. This is a great educational experience to include your kids in! Once they bloom you will have to schedule a time to visit the garden!
