Spring
Spring is a very active time at the farm. The crops must get in the ground. The corn and soybeans are ordered and waiting for the soil to get warm. Duane and at times Tina, will be busy working in the fields. Big tractors will be around the farm and fields. Meanwhile in the barnyard, spring is the season of babies! Chicks are hatching. The goat kids are jumping all about. And the kittens wait to be held. Newborn calves "moo" to the crowd as they pet them. The cows will be waiting for someone to try their hand at milking. Days will be getting longer and it seems the work is never done.

| Summer
Summer tours are alway a relaxing visit to see how the spring babies have grown. The the little chicks look old enough to start to lay eggs. And the little piglets are big enough to go to the fair. Goat kids no-longer want a bottle, now they "baa" for a handful of feed. The corn is taller than all of us. The first of many cuttings of the hay has been cut, baled, and put into the hay mow. The wheat is harvested when it is golden and the left over straw is baled and stacked in the barn for the cows to sleep on in the winter. We anticipate the cooler autumn breezes. This tends to get everyone in the mood to check out the pumpkins, corn, and soybeans. We all predict the crop yeilds and look forward to school starting again.
SUMMER VACATIONS AND SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Plan a few hours to see the farm on your way up north. What a great way to see another thing Wisconsin is famous for!
Summer FUN! School Programs that visit get to see things up close and early. Check out the corn maze before fall, and play some outdoor games in the country air.
| Autumn
Fall field trips to the farm begin shortly after the children get back in school. The corn fields are drying in the cooler nights and the soybeans are turning yellow. The Harvest Moon shows itself, the days are getting shorter. The harvest begins. The enormous combine will roll out to the field in the morning and return long after the sun has gone down.Pumpkins are big and orange, and leaves are falling. In the barnyard the animals are getting ready for winter.
Visitors may want to wear warm sweaters and mittens to great the animals in the barnyard.
The autumn breeze can be cold in the fields in the country.
Fall tours include a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick a FREE pumpkin.*
*We anticipate a FREE pumpkinfor EVERY visitor but reserve the right to limit it to just the children if the crop yeilds are low.
