Thanks for Coming to Family Day!

The last two Saturdays were super! Family Day was enjoyed by all, according to the comments we received. We had a steady stream of people for most of the day and would have been glad to see even more. We now look forward to our last two weeks of scheduled tours for daycares, who tell us they really appreciate the quiet, relaxed atmosphere and the freedom the children have to interact with the animals. If you missed coming to the farm this year, keep an eye on our website for next year's Family Days or call us to book a tour for your organization in 2008.

FAQs about Family Day

Family Days are July 14 and July 21, Saturdays, and on these days everyone is welcome to experience the farm. To find out what is happening when, see the last posting for a schedule. But here are some of the questions you've been asking about Family Day:

Do I need to pre-book? No, on these days, families are welcome to come when they want to and for however long they want to, no registration required.

Can I bring a birthday party? Yes, you are welcome to bring any number of children, as this is the only time we can do birthday parties. If you call ahead, we will reserve a picnic space for your party.

Do I need to bring a picnic lunch? Yes, there will be no food for sale at the farm. There is a grocery store in the nearby town that has over the counter lunches.

Is there enough parking? Yes, there is ample parking for everyone.

Can I use a stroller? Yes, almost every area of the farm works with a stroller, and there is some walking distance between some of the sights.

Do you provide a guided tour? No, we will provide a map for every visitor with the activity locations marked, and at every station, there will be a helper to answer any questions in that area. Families will be free to spend as much time as they want in each area.

Will you charge for pony rides? No, the pony rides will be included with every admission.
