What a great weekend we had! The weather was perfect, the pumpkins were great, and a lot of people had fun in the corn maze! A big shout out to Girl Scout Troop 4454 and For Friends Daycare (coming out for their annual family day at the farm). You guys were awesome, and we hope to see you again next year. Also want to thank Miss Cassandra from Zoo Lady Face Painting, Doug from The Unique Twist (balloon man), and Frank and Maryann from Aunt Em’s Kettle Corn for helping make this an awesome weekend. Lots lined up for next weekend too. See you here!

Welcome to the 21st Century!

Our first blog! How exciting. It has definitely been a whirlwind of activity around here! A big shout out to the Morton Blaze Soccer Association! We love you guys and appreciate your business. I know Saturday was extremely soggy, and we appreciate the brave souls who battled the weather both at the soccer fields and here at the farm. Sunday was perfect weatherwise, and we hope everyone who came out to the farm had a good time. We sure enjoyed having you here!

Today is our 100th year as a working family farm. Hurray for us! We’ll be having some special events on weekends here at the farm. Please see our website.
