Come and join us at our Families on the Farm Program for Open Farm Days!

Families on the Farm is a weekly event that provides families an opportunity to connect with nature, their food and each other.  To learn more about the program you can visit our website: HERE

We are excited to add some special features to our program for Open Farm Days. We will have a face painter, opportunities to feed the animals, a chance to suit up and head out to the bees, as well as a chance to bring home some honey you extract yourself!  Our ice cream bike will be out and full of frozen treats.  We will also have our campfire going and all you need to enjoy a hot dog roast with your family. Many of our additional activities will come at a small fee to cover our costs.  You can purchase “tokens” upon arrival at the farm or in advance through our online store. Pre-buy Tokens HERE

Tours will be offered at 9:15 am, 10:15 am, 11:15 am

If you are interested in purchasing farm fresh goods be sure to order in advance as some quantities are limited.  We will have mixed veggie boxes ($40), eggs ($6/dozen), Fresh bouquets (from Meadow Farm Florals), and grass fed ground beef (from Triple A Legacy Farm). Check out our store HERE
