Farm tours fun for all ages

“One of the reasons we’ve been able to add so much this year is we have an incredible list of sponsors and partners. They have been able to support us which has allowed us to do so much more,” said Wasylik.

“I’m just super excited for everything we have this summer. We also have an incredible group of volunteers who help us throughout the day, with the demos, the market, and making sure everyone knows what’s happening and feels comfort - able during the day.”

The tour is suitable for people of all ages. There is a wheelchair accessible golf cart to help those with mobility concerns, and children are welcome as well—under parental supervision of course.

“Our young boar—his name is Wilbur. I don’t think you can have a boar without naming him Wilbur,” laughed Wasylik.

“He loves scratches, he loves attention, so he’s going to be one that people can interact with, but in the same vein of interact - ing with those animals, parents have to watch their children ... there’s no chasing the animals, no screaming at the animals, and especially with the pigs—as much as they love the attention, they have very strong jaws and very sharp teeth.

These animals have rules, and we want to make sure they enjoy the day as much as our visitors do.”

Wasylik said another popular attraction for kids and adults alike, are the chicks.

“I currently have eggs in the incubator, and I have them under some breeding hens, and we’ve done this for the past three years. Each year we’ve had day-old or a couple day-old chicks that people can hold and touch,” said Wasylik.

“I don’t wanna count my chickens before they hatch. I like to split it up between the incubator and mother hens so we have something people can just hold and experience, because it’s really neat.”
