   Bridget Brownell, the recreation supervisor for The Farm, said she likes to see how the little ones - and their parents - react to the setup.
   
   "A lot of the kids just light up; that is probably why we do it year after year is to see the kids' faces," Brownell said.

   Bridget Brownell is recreation supervisor at The Farm. She beamed like a proud parent as she talked turkey- (pony and piglet, too). However, she also made it clear that, rather than being financially burdensome, The Farm is a working agricultural endeavor that pays most of its own way.
   ...
   Supervisor Brownell well-knows the delights children experience at The Farm, having worked there for 21 years. She told tales of tots whose fingers had to be pried loose from parents for first-pony-ride time, then similarly pried loose from the pony when time was up. Brownell also chuckled about children's candor and innocence.
   
   "Kids are so honest and up front," she said.
   ...
   Brownell asked, "Are you scared of her? Is she too big?"
   
   "Nope," the child answered.
   
   "Too scary?" Brownell further inquired.
   
   "Nope," came the same succinct reply.
   
   "Smells bad?" Brownell delved ever deeper into the child's refusal.
   
   "Nope," the boy insisted. "It's just that if I did that to me, it would really hurt!"
   
   Anatomy differences aside, most visitors eagerly participate in farm activities that draw people from all over the region, including Cheyenne, Greeley and Loveland, as well as Fort Collins.
   
   "It's a unique facility not many communities have," said Brownell.

   "It's always fun to watch their reaction," said Bridget Brownell, farm supervisor, who leads the program. "They come up with a unique perspective on things, and they're not afraid to say things."
   
   Run by the city's recreation department, the farm is a 12-acre property with cows, geese, goats and sheep, open to the public year-round.
   
   The farm has held about 30 Pee Wee Farmer sessions for up to eight kids each year during the spring, summer and fall since 1985, Brownell said. The program costs $33.
