And that's a wrap for the 2024 season ❤️

Thank you so much for another year at the farm! Your support means the world and allows us to keep operations going!

Also congrats to our fishing derby winners! Kinsley snagged the smallest fish prize, weighing in at 0.13lbs. Our member Ron caught the most fish at 47! Shorty (not pictured) wrangled in the biggest fish at 2.27lbs!

We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season ❤️

In the meantime we'll keep everyone posted on hiring for next season along with official opening date.

See you in spring!

She definitely lived up to her name being as sweet as can be ♥️ Over the past decade and a half, she has given us beautiful babies, attended church events for Christmas festivals, and provided so many snuggles at the farm.
