My daughter and I sang this on the way home from school on Friday, I think it was my way of pumping myself up for what I new was going to be an incredible weekend on farm…

So, seriously folks- it was a beautiful weekend!  Oh my goodness, we couldn’t have had more perfect weather for Fall Fest and it certainly made up for that cold stuff we had last week!  I was so glad that we had such a fantastic group of visitors both Saturday and Sunday- it seemed as though everyone had a great time and enjoyed all that we had to offer- which makes all of our hard work well worth it.  Pumpkins, cornstalks, straw, and all of our market goods seemed to fly out the door- definetly going to have to restock for the coming weekend!  The hot new thing this year seems to be our “Corn Pool”- kids love taking a “dive” in and also our “Make & Take Scarecrow”.  Everyone had a great time putting together their own scarecrow with their children and showing off their handy work- I loved that folks brought their guys and gals in to the market so that I was able to see them- definetly were proud craftsman!

I posted a ton of new photos in the photo gallery that were taken by family members so you can see what you’re missin’. We hope to get you out here this weekend so that you can make some memories of your own with your family!  Also, as a friendly reminder, this Sunday the 17th we have Old Fashioned Farm Days.  Bring out the kiddos to see how people lived in the “olden” days, should be fun for young and old alike!  Hope to see you all there bright and early…weather is supposed to be beautiful again!

Happy Carving to all of you that already bought your pumpkins! =)  ~Sarah Luther

Hi Everyone- it is Monday and I am thankful for it- never thought I would hear myself say that!  Opening weekend did a doozy on me, and probably everyone else that was involved too, so I decided to give myself a treat and stay home on this miserable day.  We worked hard the past two weeks trying to get ready for our first fall fest day of the year and for our very first clambake.  The weather was a bit on the gloomy side, but people showed up in droves and hung out all night enjoying the band, Cold Blue Steele.  After all of my incessant worrying, things turned out just fine, the food was tasty, company was great, bonfire roared and the hayrides…well, they were a little wet- but it’s fall, that’s to be expected.  I would like to thank Gale, Tim, Andy, Bob, Mike, Brenda, Gary, Jodie, Carrie, Jerry, Adam, Ashley and anyone else that helped out, including our wonderful volunteers- we couldn’t have done it without you!  We hope that everyone had a great time and that we can get some feedback about what was good, what was bad, and how we can improve for next year!   Comments are appreciated- they can only help us get better in our efforts to throw an enjoyable event for all of you. 

On Sunday, it was bitter cold out, the wind was whipping through that darn market, sending chills up our bones.  It was also my first time EVER picking pumpkins.  Holy moly- what a job!  You just don’t know what kind of back breaking work is involved with farming until you actually do it…  (And all I picked were munchkins- maybe I am a wuss!)  Regardless of the cold weather, we did a good amount of business and quite a few people braved the elements to get their pumpkins.  We are glad you came out- definetly made our day go faster! 

As a reminder, check out our tab with the upcoming events listed.  Currently we are selling tickets for our haunted hayride on October 30th and Old Fashioned Farm Days is coming up on the 17th.  Hope to see you all there, if not sooner =) 

Happy Fall  ~Sarah Luther
