We come here several times a year with our kids. There is no admission and they have such good activities for the kids. The farm is also beautiful With vast rolling hills and pastures and farm animals.
I went here as chaperone with kids on a field trip organized by school.
Not very clear on how much school paid for them. Kids had paid 16$ per person which included transportation from school.
This is definitely good option to take group of kids and even adults. I could relate with my grandparents farms and houses in India. So farms and farm houses smell and feel the same wherever you are.
Kids learned so many things. They could harvest 🌽 from the plants in garden. Overall nice experience.
They need to arrange for some trash cans when kids arrive on field trips. Carrying back trash all the way from picnic area till the bus was too hard.
