Be sure to attend our Beginner's Guide to Keeping Backyard Chickens class on Saturday (no charge).

Farm Tots, our farm adventure for tots with accompanying adult, is back this year on Fridays and Saturdays when the farm is open. Our Earth Day theme is Earthworms for Earth Day. Your adventure will start with an introduction to the farm, followed by your self-paced activities: crafts, a hayride, our kids' mazes, visiting our farm animals, including our baby ducks & chickens, and exploring the farm with the other farm visitors. You will be making a Worm Tote to carry home a worm for your own healthy soil and a pine cone bird feeder to help feed the birds in your neighborhood. The one-hour session starts at 10:30. Be sure to check in early so you don't miss any of the fun. The cost is $8, including tax. For all you really dedicated Farm Tots, we are bringing back our Frequent Farmer program: five sessions for only $35.00 (includes tax).

If you are past the tot stage, or are a tot visiting the farm in the afternoon, we offer a Crafts Area, with crafts different from the Farm Tots crafts. These one-hour sessions start at 10:30, 1:00 and 3:30 on both days. Cost is $6.00, including tax.

While at the farm stand you can shop for Dr. Maze’s Botanicals. We create herbal teas, essential oils, mists, and other botanicals from lavender, rosemary, mints, chamomile, and other plants grown right here at the farm. Our Rosemary-Peppermint Lotion Bars and our Velvet Monkey tea are two customer favorites. Stop by to see our hand-made copper stills and check out our selection.

Check our calendar of events for more fun throughout the summer and our Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in September and October.

We farm using organic methods.
