What's new


Sponsor your favorite farm animal

Spring has sprung on the farm which means baby animals, busy barns, and lots of hungry mouths to feed! Sponsor an animal to help care for the 450+ animals across Dodge’s two working farms. It’s a fun way to support hands-on learning while getting a few perks along the way.

Whether you’re team tiny bee or team big baby calf, there’s something for everyone.
