A visual site for Halloween that you have never seen before!
Pumpkins on Pikes! When the light disappears and the night mist appears, pumpkins seem to float and fly in the wind!
Come and spend an evening carving pumpkins, eating community shared food and enjoying a visula site that compares to no other.
Pumpkins are carved by all attendees, some fancy some simple all up to the carver!
As each pumpkin is completed they are perched on a platform on a stake in the ground.
When the darkness sets in the pumpkins are all lit for a stunning visual sight!
Pumpkins will be lit each night through Halloween!
Bring dish to share, carving tools, a beverage and be ready to carve'em up!

Another new face on the farm!
Roland! That's my name. If you can guess where it came from you get a free chicken from the farm!
I can sit, stay, sleep in my own bed, not chase the chickens, and heel really well. I stopped growling at everyone cause most of them pet me and the rest say I am cute. I am really smart and I am the King, or will be, of the farm.

Our Logo! We hope you like it!
A culmination of input from Elijah, Linsay and Jonas! We like it a lot and hope you do also!
Thing we learned over the last 2 weeks!
Turkeys are like velociraptors. They study in groups and execute together...really interesting (we are locking our doors at night).
The calves are still taller than the 2 year old children that still find them a bit scary.
Yellow chicks and brown chicks have a pecking order except for at night when they all huddle together for warmth and saftey....sounds familiar.
Pigs like to wander around and small fences don't mean a lot to them! But they always come back to the food. I know some teenage boys like that...
Grass fed beef is really tasty if it is aged 3 or more weeks (consolidates the little bit of fat).
Organic doesn't really mean organic......(it has been dissapointing to find out how much the term does not mean what we thought it meant).
Good food is not cheap to produce.
Ya have to know your farmer!
Eating a meal with new and old friends, knowing where the food came from and the wine (Dane Cellars has a stunning Cabernet just out) is the Bomb!
