Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FARMSTEAD

165 Acres of Trails, Play and Animal Encounters

Roam winding trails, let kids bounce at the playground, and visit the Animal Corral for up‑close moments with the farm’s friendlier critters. The site’s mix of open fields and activity areas makes it easy to pace a family day out.

THE HARVEST

Pick‑Your‑Own Produce and Seasonal Blooms

When harvest is running, visitors can pick asparagus, berries, flowers and pumpkins in the farm fields; pick‑your‑own items are charged separately (produce by weight, flowers by bloom).

THE RIDE

Free Tractor Wagon Tours—First Come, First Served

For a quick orientation of the grounds, hop on the tractor wagon for a free circuit of the farm. The wagon runs on a first‑come, first‑served basis and is a popular way to see more of the property without extra walking.

What the day feels like

What a Day at the Farm Feels Like

The day is a series of small discoveries: a climb up straw mountain for a view and a laugh, a slow walk through winding paths, a chase through a corn maze in the fall, and frequent stops to photograph flowers or taste freshly harvested fruit. Expect casual, family‑focused energy and staff managing access as the farm prepares to close—general admission begins at 10 a.m. and runs through the final half hour before fields are cleared.
