Bloom Where You're Planted Farm

This past Sunday was our second-annual Scout Day.  All scouts wearing some part of their uniform received free admission to the farm.  It was a beautiful afternoon and the scouts all seemed to have a great time. 

This is Jasper, a Boy Scout from Hamburg, IA.  He chose an awesome pumpkin from the U-Pick patch!

My college roommate Carri and her family came for a visit on Sunday.  One of the best things about having this business is when friends or family stop by.  Some of them, like Carri and her family, live far enough away that we often only see them once a year at pumpkin patch time.  It was near the end of the day, so I put one of our employees in charge of my post at the admission counter and rode along on their hay ride...

This Saturday is Doggy Day.  Bring your canine friends to enjoy the sights and smells of the farm!  $4.00 doggy admission will be donated to the Capital Humane Society of Lincoln.  Volunteers will be on-site with a selection of dogs which can be adopted from the shelter.

Sunday is 4-H Day.  All 4-Hers who wear or show some type of ID will receive free admission.  It is forecast to be a pretty chilly day, so we'll have FREE coffee brewing in the gift shop to keep you warm!  We'll also be selling hot, spiced cider in the Schoolhouse Cafe all weekend, a perfect complement to a slice of pumpkin pie or our famous frosted sugar cookies!

Hope to see you soon at the farm!
