What's the point? We know it is important for you to know where your meat comes from and that you can trust that it is raised properly.  Come and meet our family and see the farm for yourself. 
CSA members especially take an eager interest in the farm because they have made a committment to supporting the farm on an ongoing basis.  Thanks to you all!  See you this summer.

Walnut Farm Fair

Saturday, August 14 

Has been CANCELLED!  If interested, call for a private tour after Aug 20.

Farm tour, full meal, farmer's market, & games!

Due to multiple complicating factors including a hole 15 ft long and 8 feet deep to fix a water leak, dozens of Dave's hours being taken up replacing the engine in the tractor, and Robin's difficulties keeping up with office duties and home duties while managing pregnancy symptoms, we feel it necessary to cancel this August's farm day.

Sorry!  See you next summer.

Learn about the animals & see the cows, pigs, broiler chickens, turkeys, laying hens, & ducks.  We'll even have a goat visiting for the day!  Smile

Help pick eggs, try candleing an egg, join in fun farm games & door prizes.
