Exploring Old Mill Farm

**This event was sponsored by KidCircle**

Head out to a beautiful, new-to-us country setting on a perfect fall day???

Sounds like a plan!


Old Mill Farm held its first annual Oktoberfest & we were happy to be in attendance. The event was originally scheduled for early October but Mother Nature chose to make us wait a few weeks longer. The new date was Sunday, November 4th & the weather was a perfect mix of sun & breeze!

The farm promised live music, a farm petting zoo, fishing, pony rides, gem mining, games, & hay rides for its visitors. There were hot dogs, Maple View Ice Cream, & chips to fill hungry bellies. Juice, milk, water, & beer were also available. There was something for everyone but kid-friendly food/activities makes this family extra happy!

Oktoberfest & many other events are held to raise money for the Kids Farm Foundation. We did our research to learn about various scholarships/programs provided by Old Mill Farm(s) throughout the year. Such a busy place!

@2pbgirls are interested in checking out some of their vet classes for kids. However, I may have to do a mommy & me type of class with my youngest. She loves animals but that doesn’t always equate to wanting physical contact with them. LOL! Old Mill Farm also hosts birthday parties, toddler activities, & track-out classes. Visit the website for more info & subscribe to their newsletter to keep tabs on upcoming events!

Our family was exhausted from birthday activities the day before so we didn’t indulge in all the farm fun. We mostly hung out & walked the grounds. Fall colors & views of the pond filled the landscape & made amazing backdrops for many of our photos. Such gorgeous scenery! We were happy to enjoy the day obligation free while meeting friendly staff members & kind attendees.

If you get a chance to visit Old Mill Farm for any reason, we think it’s worth the drive.
