Annual Easter Egg Hunt!

Saturday, April 16th, 2022

This year we are not only celebrating Easter, but bringing the community back together after a two, long years of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also be celebrating the reopening of the farm for the spring season!

The event will include our classic Easter egg scavenger hunt, meeting with our Steckle animals, touring the farm in springtime, as well as a hotdog BBQ (traditional, veggie & halal options) and picnic! Feel free to bring your own blanket, kite, lawn games, or even your own picnic lunch to enjoy on the farm and make yourself at home on the farm!

We can’t wait to see you all there!!
