“Lovely farm. I brought my daughters during their open house and they really enjoyed it. The owner of the farm is incredibly warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is great. Lots of beautiful plants and goats and chickens. We learned about many of the plants there and we had a nice lunch provided too. I’m excited to come back for volunteer day. Definitely get on their mailing list to stay updated on upcoming events.”
