During April through October, Bowers Farm is open to the public. CHECK OUR WEBSITE FOR UPDATED HOURS.
The Farm Kitchen & Store offers fresh in-season produce, farm meat, fresh baked items including breads and donuts along with ice cream.
Open Barn is where we open our barn doors to the community for access to our farm and animals. We are a full working farm focused on agricultural education, and run Open Barn so folks can visit with our animals, and engage in some hands-on activities around agriculture. Open Barn admission is a benefit of our membership program, with no limits set on the amount of times you can visit.
Some of the fun things to do while on our farm each Open Barn:
-
Visit with our animals (sheep, goats, cattle, chickens, ponies, bunnies, llama, peacock, horses, turkeys, pigs). We’ll often run activities such as bunny circles, a poultry yard experience, and pony grooming, daily.
-
Play on our straw bale structure
-
Dig for worms in our dig station and learn about soil health and composting
-
Use our JR Farmer backpacks for deeper investigation on the farm (complimentary)
-
Wagon rides around the farm and through our pasture sites run every half hour
Hands on activities change up by the week/season and may include goat milking, egg collecting and washing, butter making, upcycled maker space activities, planting projects, reading with the animals, baby chick visits and more.
