Stroll through our grassy lawn and shop a variety of Artisan craft vendors! Each booth will be filled with artisan-made goodies for you to enjoy!
While you are at the farm, stop in our building to Paint Your Own Birdhouse, Birdfeeder, Butterfly House or all three. You can enter from the retail store or through the center door of the building.
No reservations are required to participate. Last seating is at 1:00pm. Pay for what you make: $10 for birdhouse, $7.50 for birdfeeder, $15 for butterfly.
Take a trolley ride around our 200-acre farm to see beautiful sights of our gourds and other crops growing during the summer. Our Trolley Rides take approximately 45 minutes and are $5.00. Handheld infants are free. Be sure to get your tickets before the event as they tend to sell out.
Visit our 7,000 sq ft Gift Shop on the farm filled with gourds for all seasons as well as other artisan crafts, gifts, raw hard-shell gourds for crafting, food items and more!
