WE ARE CLOSED!
Our summer season has now come to an end.
WE ARE CLOSED TODAY AT THE FARM.
WE WILL RE-OPEN THIS FALL WITH OUR PUMPKIN PATCH.
CHECK BACK IN LATE SEPTEMBER FOR DETAILS!

BUT....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


In remembrance of our sweet Grandmother Evelyn. Each year she came to the farm during berry season, to help us pick berries and cut them up for our ice cream, and also deliver her handmade jewelry to our giftshop. We are so grateful that we were able to have her in our lives and for her to bless our farm in so many ways.
