    Overview
    More
    We are a beef cattle farm that enjoys sharing the farm way of life with others. Our agri-tourism activities include a corn maze in the fall, greenhouses and fairy gardens in the spring, butterflies, 60 ft. underground slides, cow trains, historic carousel, country store and much, much more! We can keep kids of all ages busy for a full afternoon. Looking for a different meeting place? Consider our country tea parties held throughout the year. We do birthday parties, take rides to the pumpkin patch in season, offer field trips to schools and offer special activities for seniors as well. Most of our activities are handicap accessible.

    Fun for all

    The parents enjoyed the farm as much as the kids. The new additions were great. The kids loved the slides, feeding the animal, the corn house, and the rubber ducky race.

    No pumpkin patch!!

    Another day trip with a four and five year old.

    There is so much to do here so don't cut your time too short. Our little ones didn't want to get out of the corn pit but loved the slide too. The pig race is cheesy but otherwise this is a great family stop.

    So glad I found this place....

    Such a lovely place! They offered half price for grandparents, which was very nice. I don’t think enough places value the grandparents enough to do that. They offer a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch, and my nephew loved it. We rode the tractor a...More
