Only open Saturday, June 9A small working farm with beef cattle being our main income along with raising free range chickens eggs, hay and pumpkins. Three years ago, we began farm agritourism. During 6 weeks in the fall, we opened our farm to schools and do educational farm tours which includes 5 educational stations. We also raise alpacas and use their fiber to make yarn and clothing items. We have a lesson for our farm tours we call "From Fleece to Fiber" in which we demonstrate how we make yarn including the use of spinning wheels and looms.
