Cider Tasting We also have apple cider slushes and pomegranate granitas. Step on up to the counter and ask for a free taste. Honey Tasting It is so interesting how different honey can taste depending upon what crop the bees are pollinating. All of the local honey we carry is raw, natural and unfiltered. U-Pick Gardens You can pick your own blackberries from our olallieberry patch in late June and early July. We also have available for u-pick all of our heirloom tomatoes (over 50 different varieties), summer squash, cucumbers, peas, beans, sweet onions, garlic, eggplant, okra etc. In July we have u-pick lavender. Make your own lavender bundles and wands, or dry the buds for culinary use. During the summer months we have u-pick sunflowers and zinnias. You can create your own festive bouquet.
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 $4 or less. 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. Right now we have 9 goats, 2 ducks, 3 turkeys, 5 rabbits, 4 geese and dozens of assorted chickens. We hope to have most of them in permanent residence at the farm stand by the end of July.
We have a covered picnic area where you can relax in the shade. We also have several wooden picnic tables with umbrellas where you can sit and enjoy an ice cold apple cider slush, a caramel apple or our freshly baked goodies. 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.
Our toddler size hay maze was a huge hit last year, 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.
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. 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.
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. We have many props and photo ops scattered around the farm. In particular get your photo taken in front of our 1925-'26-'27 Model T, or our John Deere Freight wagon.
Thank you and See you Soon!!!
