In the Midst of Planting

There may not be enough to see on the farm but there is plenty to do. For the next two months we are working hard to get the farm ready for our first weekend for the maze August 1st - 3rd. Visit us this weekend for our Annual Lily Festival

Here is a short list of what is keeping us busy at the moment.

1)The Sunflower & Corn Mazes are just poking out of the ground, so in the next two weeks we will be planning out and cutting in this years pattern.

2) All our Seed Potatoes and U-pick potatoes are in the ground and will soon need to be weeded.. Anyone want to help??

3) This year we are expanding our U-pick vegetable Fields. A variety of carrots, potatoes, peas, tomatoes, beans, radishes, garlic & more will be available throughout the summer

4) The lilies are growing like mad, the first of which should be ready for picking early July

5) In addition to the lilies we plant approximately 10, 000 annual flowers & have expanded our perennial beds for visitors to pic and create beautiful bouquets.

6) Earlier this week we received our first shipment of Christmas Trees. We planted the trees yesterday and they should be ready for picking in 2016... It's only a few years away. That's a "soon to be" christmas tree in the white circles
