It doesn't take long to realize that On the Farm with Farmer Bob is not just any ol' farm. The characters from On the Farm with Farmer Bob are already nationally known, as they have been used as teaching tools in public school programs and science museums. In Cocka Doodle Doo The Right Thing a special guest has been invited to the farm. Jenny (voice of Amy Grant) is put in charge of cleaning up and receives the cooperation of everyone, except Hercules (Vince Gill). In addition to not helping, Hercules mistakes the special guest for someone unimportant and treats him poorly. Meanwhile Sam finds $20 and spends it without finding out to whom it belongs. This episode teaches the Biblical parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector as well as the practical lesson of doing the right thing even when nobody is watching. www.PlayOnTheFarm.com

It doesn't take long to realize that On the Farm with Farmer Bob is not just any ol' farm. The characters from On the Farm with Farmer Bob are already nationally known, as they have been used as teaching tools in public school programs and science museums. You'll agree that this new series for children is extraordinary. In A Friend Planting Seeds, Is A Friend Indeed it's planting season, and farmer Bob gives Hercules (voice of Vince Gill), Sam, Jenny and Brandon instructions on how to plant a field. Chaos ensues as each character hilariously fails to do what Farmer Bob asked. This story illustrates the importance of getting along with each other as well as the lesson of faith from the Parable of the Sower. www.PlayOnTheFarm.com

Through hilarious antics, he realizes that "different" grass isn't always "better" grass and that his true blessings are right where he left them, at home. Porkchop heads back to Farmer Bob to apologize for not being grateful, only to be welcomed with open arms and a special "Hoe Down" celebration complete with cheesy corn curls. Kids will learn the parable of the Prodigal son with valuable lessons about gratitude and being thankful for what you have. www.PlayOnTheFarm.com
