🌥️ **A Perfect Day on the Farm Awaits!** 🌾

The weather's just right for a day at the farm—cool, cloudy, and no rain in sight! Yesterday, we finally opened the new slide in our barn, and it was a hit with the little ones.

Our 8 piglets are growing fast but are still as adorable as ever. With less than 4 weeks left in our season, now's the perfect time to visit and say hello to our friendly animals. There's plenty of farm work to go around—feed the goats and calves with milk bottles, cool off the pigs with a hose, throw some cracked corn to the birds, and even join me in my favorite task—scooping p**p!

Come on out and make some farm-tastic memories! 🐷🐮🐥

The new barn is almost done!! Built from trees cut from the upper end of our property, the barn is for both animals and visitors. There is a hayloft to climb up to and there will be a slide for a fast way down. We are excited about even more improvements to happen before we open we open for our 60th season in late May.

One week from today will be our last day for our 59th season. It has been a bit of a strange season, particularly with the weather. June was so wet and when it didn't rain it was too hot and humid. July was a bit better but August weather was much, much better. Now I look at this upcoming week's weather forecast and it is a mixed bag. Today's weather is a good example. If you're coming today you better come early as it looks like thunderstorms by mid afternoon. But weather forecasting is still an inexact science. What I do know is that at some point this month building our new barn will commence. More on the barn in tomorrow's post......

Our season is rapidly coming to a close. We will be open daily, weather permitting, through September 17th. It is time to offer our goats for sale. We have male Saanen and Nubian kids who range in age from 3 months to 5 months. The price range is $125 to $200. I will be selling them under certain conditions which I can send you via email ([email protected]). You can come to choose them without paying admission if you come between 4:30 and 5:00. If you come before then your admission will go towards the purchase price as long as you buy goats. Please do not call with any questions you might have-email me.

One of the more pleasurable times for me on the farm is when visitors tell me about how long they have been coming here since we opened in 1965. I especially love to hear from people who first came as children and now come as parents or even grandparents!

These two photos, one of which is of my 4 sons taken in 1989, and the second, taken in 2014 of them, me, my wife (who's holding our first grandchild) and my parents who started The Friendly Farm are an example of my family's generations here at the farm.

How about sharing your generational photos in the comments?
