Follow an entertaining children’s storybook as it’s displayed page by page along the trail behind the Children’s Farmyard. Your family can read as you walk, letting the story unfold with every step. This season's book is Busy Spring: Nature Wakes Up, by Sean Taylor and Alex Morss. StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. The storybook changes seasonally!

Our Farm Cart has farm-fresh lunch and snack options, or you can pick something delicious up at the Farm Store before you visit. The Farm Barn is also home to O Bread Bakery, an independent production bakery that often has a limited number of bread loaves, cookies, or pastries for sale. Not a sit-down bakery.
