Rain check for today! 🌧️ All fields and activities are closed for Sunday, October 11th due to wet field conditions. However, the Farm Stand will remain open for fresh produce, raw honey, and gorgeous farm grown flowers today 10:30-5:00 PM.
From 104° heatwaves to wind and rain, October sure knows how to keep us guessing! But we aren’t letting a little mud dampen the spirit of the season.
The forecast for the next three weekends is looking clear, beautiful, and perfect for pumpkin patch days, u-pick fields, and fresh farm air. The farm is ready and waiting for you!
Join us Thursday through Sunday over these next three weeks to make the most of October together! 🧡
