Easter Egg Hunt
at The Farmyard
It's that time of year! Our annual Egg Hunt is one of our most popular events. Along with the traditional hunt, families have access to authentic on-farm experiences (ie bunny encounters) and educational opportunities (Farmer Steve's hayride). There will be a craft, access to on-farm games, and more. Don't forget to support the local vendors and food trucks.
Buy your tickets quickly, this event sells out!
Rain date: 4/11, Cost $25.00
