Family “farm stays” allow families to experience life “on the farm” together one day at a time. While here visiting “farmers” collect their own eggs for breakfast, help milk the cows and goats, assist with the feeding and handling of the horses, sheep, chickens, pigs and goats to their level of comfort. Get back in touch with the world of your parents or grandparents. Over night accommodations are available at the farm house.
Yearly the farm offers OPEN HOUSE in both the spring and fall, welcoming the changes of the seasons with demonstrations, seasonal foods, tours and horse drawn hayrides. “Lights in the Woods”, a winter seasonal event, takes the visitors on horse drawn hayrides after dark through the back fields lit with white Christmas lights.
