Bloom Where You're Planted Farm

Ag Day

Saturday, October 17th was our second-annual Ag Day in cooperation with the Conestoga FFA (Future Farmers of America).  The weather was still a bit chilly, but we had a nice crowd come out to enjoy the activities, demonstrations and animals provided by the students.  We had a show heifer, alpacas, pygmy goats and baby pigs.  A couple of the girls did a tack and safety demonstration with our mare Abbie, and several students helped demonstrate our antique corn sheller for the kids.  They brought pedal tractors for our straw bale maze, and lots of informative handouts about pork, beef, corn and more!  We thank all the students and their advisor, Mr. Anderson, for helping to make it a great day!

Nature's Classroom

Sunday was a BEAUTIFUL day, and we had a great turnout.  One family stopped by that had visited last year and "adopted" two tree frogs that they'd found.  They cared for the frogs for an entire year, watching their life cycle and learning all about them.  On Sunday they brought them back to be released into their old habitat.  They even brought a helium balloon to release in honor of the occasion!

The weatherman is predicting crisp, sunny fall weather for the upcoming weekend.  We still have lots of beautiful pumpkins, squash and gourds.  Our mums are still looking good and will be on sale for just $7.95.  Come and get them while supplies last. 

We hope to see you soon at the farm!
