Open Farm Day is happening this Sunday, Sept. 18. This is a opportunity for the public to view various farms. There will be a bison farm, dairy farms, market gardens, greenhouses, a horseback riding operation, an alpaca farm, chicken farm, and so much more.
This day gives the public the opportunity to explore farms and ask questions about where your food comes from or the amount of work that goes into a farm.
The Scarecrow Forest will be opening a small part of their operation to the public. You will have the chance to tour our 0.3 acre market garden (see some pumpkins and gourds in the garden), play in a corn box, pet one of our goats, browse through our gift shop where you can buy jellies, jams, relishes, vegetables, pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, gift items, squash, etc. The Scarecrow Forest cost $8.00 to get in (which includes taxes) and the extra activities are $1.50 to $4.50. To do the extra activities you need to pay admission to the Forest.
The Scarecrow Forest will also be having a special meal on this day. We will be serving pork on a bun, baked potato, drink, coleslaw, and baked beans. Our other menu items will be available.

While mother nature decided not to co-operative. The garden was destroyed by frost so there will be no tour of the garden and all the pumpkins will be picked.
