LANCASTER - What started as a plan to open a farm club for their children to meet new friends turned into a business for Amanda Shields and Curtis Spain.
The seven-acre Picture Perfect Ranch at 1214 Rock Mill Road NW near Rockmill Brewery has about 40 animals like horses and alpacas and hosts a variety of programs for both children and adults. One such program is the Little Rancher Club for those 5 to 15 and has about 75 members. We do different things with them, Shields said of the children. We meet bi-weekly and they learn about the different animals and how to care for them. We do things with gardening and we re putting a garden together. We re recycling and just a bunch of things like that.
