The Friendly Farm

09/20/2026

Today was to have been our closing day but with the rain starting by mid-morning I have decided not to open at all. The radar shows that once in starts it will continue for the rest of the day. Not a good day for the birds and animals to be out other than our ducks and geese. Thanks again for your support and we will look forward to opening for our 63rd season on Saturday May 29 next year.

It's our final weekend of our 62nd season. The weather looks good for today but not for tomorrow. At this point, we expect to open at 10AM on Sunday but will close whenever the rain starts. My advice would be to come today if you want to visit the farm for one last time this season. Thank you all for another great year. I've already have been planning some good changes for next year after a restful winter. Looking forward to seeing you all again next year!!!

Looks like great weather for our final week of our 62nd season. Nice time to visit if you don't want to be around a lot of people. These weekdays there is seldom more than 10 cars in the parking lot. This coming Sunday, September 20 will be our last day. We also will be selling our young chickens that are now just starting to lay. Many different breeds to choose from. $25 each of you buy less than 6 but only $20 each for 6 or more. Ducks available also.

Today is Thursday and the forecast is that rain might start in the early afternoon. If that is true we will be open at 10 until whenever the rain starts.

Twenty years ago my friend Don suggested I consider starting a Junior Farmer program. It has since become very popular with hundreds of participants! A few years ago my friend Dick suggested that I should have a Senior Farmer program. I have finally worked out the details and it is up and running on our website. It is geared to all those grandparents who want to bring their adult children and their grandchildren to the farm at half the regular price. Go to our website friendlyfarm.com and you can learn the details. Here I am modeling the Senior Farmer shirt that will identify those who enroll:

If you're planning on coming to visit the farm today I would come earlier rather than later as there might be rain by 3:00. Just found this picture of an old goat surrounded by kids!

It's Saturday and the forecast for the weekend is suddenly a lot better. We expect to be open both days. The temperature will be quite nice also. A great time to visit the farm. We don't expect to be very busy either because the forecast had been a lot worse. Lots of new babies to see and feed- baby goats, calves, lambs, piglets, bunnies and. of course, chicks. Come and you can say hello to an old goat-me!

We have some quiet corners of the farm where you can cozy up with a book 📚📖
