Farm Fun

On a dairy farm, there are always things to do! Cows must be milked and fed twice a day. Calves must be fed. Fields must be plowed, disked, planted, fertilized and harvested. Equipment must be maintained. Animals must be tended.

Guests at Verdant View can experience rural life first-hand by participating in some of the daily farm activities. Children and adults alike can participate in the following on-farm activities:

  • Ride the Farmland Fun Tour Wagon
  • Milk a cow by hand
  • Bottle-feed baby calves
  • Pet the pets (kittens, Little Mattie the friendly dog, goat, sheep, rabbits)
  • Feed the swans and geese
  • Fish in the farm pond (large-mouth bass and bluegills)
  • Walk down the 1/2 mile lane to the "back 40"
  • Swing on the porch swing, tire swing, or rope swing
  • Play on the corn pile (seasonal, depending on how hungry the cows are!)
  • Crawl through the hay tunnels (again, depends on Bessie's appetite)
  • If you are lucky, see a calf being born
