Farm Tour
"An Experience Like No Other!"
Willows Edge Farm has been offering Farm Tours to scouting groups and preschools but is expanding its fun tours to all.
We offer 60 - 75 minute educational tours for your group where you get to visit with the animals in person and hands ON! This is not an area that has been "set up" to be a petting zoo or a makeshift farm...this is an actual, real working horse farm. And yes, we do have so much more than just the horses. Some tours will learn how to brush a horse and understand some basic horsemanship, some will visit with and feed the chickens as well as learning a bit about petting, holding and caring for the rabbits.
NOTE: All activities are age appropriate for the group.
Reserve your tour Now!
"Thank you for having our mother's group over ... Every mom walked away impressed by your farm and the quality of the field trip you provided. All the kids enjoyed themselves, each taking different experiences with them. We really appreciate your time and would love to schedule this again next year."

NOTE:
Willows Edge Farm is a working farm that receives no taxpayer money via government grants or subsidies for farm tours or anything else on the farm. We stay in business by using our time productively doing important daily tasks. As much as we would love to spend time with everyone who comes by, we simply can't. We therefore offer our farm tours as a way to not only show off our farm, but to meet with others as well.
Experience what a small farm can do so close to the city...
 People are often intimidated by farming - and rightly so in some cases. We cringe at the number of trials (and chicks) it took to finally get a crop of chickens to maturity and laying. Once we got there though, there was no going back...it just took time to learn what to do and what not to do.
We get a lot of emails asking how we do it and what the minimum size is for different crops or animals. While we don't have time to answer each email that comes through - we are a family run farm with chores that require our time outside - we do offer the farm tours for you to come and see how we make it all work.
We are really here to show you that it can be done on a VERY small scale - Willows Edge Farm encompasses only 2 1/2 acres! In our small space, we have chickens that give us enough fresh eggs for our family as well as to sell, horses that we are selectively breeding and use for our riding lesson & camp programs as well as other critters of the farm...rabbits and earthworms who co-exist, a couple barn cats... Don't get us wrong - this is HARD work. But it is truly the best hard work you can ever imagine! There is so much satisfaction to be had from a good, hard days work on the farm.
