Saturday and Sunday afternoons the tractor and wagons run. Catch a ride to pick a bag of your favorite tree ripened apples.
The children's play area will be open; including our ever popular three-story wire maze and fun glider swings. There's even a real tractor you can pretend to "drive".
Beau, the donkey, and some of his pasture pals always enjoy a visit,
especially when it includes a "handout". The goats are especially
friendly, but watch out, Beau likes fingers!
Stop by the little white shed to see the young chickens, part of this
year's Egg Factory.
