U-Pick Gardens

We offer u-pick with almost every crop grown on our farm.You can pick your own sweet onions and garlic in early June, and blackberries from our olallieberry patch in late June and early July. Middle July means u-pick lavender season, for buds or bundles. July and August means u-pick peach and plum season. In August we have available for u-pick all of our heirloom tomatoes (over 50 different varieties) sweet peppers, cucumbers, and summer squash. September through November means u-pick apple season, and December is Fuyu persimmon season.

During the summer months we have u-pick sunflowers and zinnias.  You can create your own country bouquet.

Pumpkin Patch

In the fall we have a u-pick pumpkin patch for the kids. It will be filled with just-the-right-sized pumpkins for little ones to load up in a wagon and take home with them.  All pumpkins in our u-pick patch are priced $6 or less.

Farm Animals
                                 

Our farm is bursting at the seams with critters. We are growing our farm animal area and building larger pens so we can have more of our farm animal family at the farm stand for folks to enjoy.  Goats, rabbits, chickens and ducks are at the farmstand daily.

Antique Farm Equipment

                    

Do you enjoy seeing early farm equipment?  We have a nice collection that has been passed down by family members throughout the years, and many pieces that have been donated by our generous friends and neighbors.  We have a self-guided walking tour.  You may stroll along the driveway to view the equipment, and read our story cards telling you the history and use of each piece.

Picnic Area

We have a picnic area where you can relax and enjoy treats from our farm market. You are welcome to bring your own pack lunch from home, however we ask that you take any trash you generate home with you please.

Hay Maze

2013 Maze

Our toddler size hay maze is always very popular, so we are going to make it even bigger and better this year!  The barley crop will be harvested in late July, so watch for the hay maze in early August.

2014 Maze

You will have to wait to see what we have in store for 2015!

Wooden Train

         

All Aboard!  Kids will enjoy playing on our new wooden train play structure.  They can let their imaginations run wild while they try their hand at being an engineer or riding along in the coal car.

Lasso a Dummy Steer

                  

Have you ever thrown a lasso? Don a cowboy hat, tie a red bandana around your neck and try your hand at roping Bailey our dummy steer.  Kids and adults of all ages enjoy the experience.  Yee Haw!!!

Tractor Tire Garden

                  

Kids of all ages love our tractor tire garden. Climb through them or over them - the choice is yours!

Water Pump Barrels

                               


Many years ago you couldn't just turn on a faucet to get a drink of water, fill a bath tub or water the livestock.  Young and old alike can experience how it was done generations ago.

Sawhorse Broncos

Sit atop your choice of a pony saddle or a real western saddle. Adjust those stirrups, pull that cinch tight and go on an imaginary ride.  We have cowboy hats and bandanas hanging on the saddle horn you can wear to help you complete the experience. 

Hay Stack

Who is king of the mountain?  Our stack is the perfect size for youngsters to climb on and explore.  What could be more fun than playing on a hay stack on a sunny day!  Moms can sit on a nearby bench and watch their little ones enjoy good old-fashioned fun.

Bird Watching

The number of birds you can observe in a short period of time on our farm is nothing short of amazing. If you sit quietly on one of our many benches or boulders, you will see orioles, humming birds, red-headed woodpeckers, blue jays, red tailed hawks, sparrow hawks, crows, black birds, killdeer, blue herons, dove, wild pigeons, turkey vultures, blue birds, wild canaries, starlings, Stellar Jays, sparrows and Valley Quail.  Occasionally you will see wild geese, wild ducks, and golden eagles.  If you visit near dusk you might see one of our barn owls or horned owls. 

Photo Opportunities

We have many props and photo ops scattered around the farm.  In particular get your photo taken in front David Barlogio's 1925-'26-'27 Model T, or our John Deere Freight wagon.
