Little Hands on the Farm

A pint sized interactive farm!

All new shed structures in 2026! This interactive exhibit is another piece of the Fair’s continued efforts to provide educational, yet fun, opportunities for Fair guests to experience the different components of agriculture.

Little Hands on the Farm has transformed Baker Park into a kid-sized farm, complete with barns, gardens, and animals. This hands-on experience will have children participating in various farm “chores” from milking a cow, to driving a tractor.

Interactive barns include:

Starting Barn. Get outfitted in a Little Hands on the Farm apron and bucket.

Dairy Barn. Help milk a cow simulator and grab a carton of milk for your bucket. Supported by Upstate Farms

Sheep Barn. Groom a pretend sheep and take a sample of wool in your bucket. Supported by Morton Buildings

Chicken Coop. Grab an egg from the chickens to take with you. Supported by Kreher Family Farms.

Garden Shed. Plant some vegetable seeds and take a veggie in your bucket. Supported by Tractor Supply

Grain Bin. Fill a bag with grain inside the silo. Supported by H.E.R.D WNY

Tractor Shed. Pedal your tractor around and deliver your grain to some hungry animals.

Pollinator Shed. Learn about honey bees and how they help apples grow! Collect the honey for your bucket or pick an apple from the tree. Supported by NY Apple Association.

Farmers Market. “Sell” the contents of your bucket back at the Farmers Market and get a NBT Bank Little Hands on the Farm dollar for all the hard work.

Grocery Market. Show your NBT Bank Little Hands on the Farm dollar to earn a drink or a snack.
