So...you are all signed up and ready for your Crowe's
Nest Farm tour...but
|
| Once you are all checked in, you may be split into smaller groups if your group totals more than 80 people. Some will go to the big red barn, others to the dairy barn, and, if necessary, a third group to the hayride. You will then rotate groups until everyone has done all three. After those guided parts of the tour are complete for all groups, you may then tour the rest of the farm, which is self-guided, breaking up into smaller groups if you like. 10:00 groups: you eat lunch after your tour is complete. Feel free to contact us for more specific information. What follows are pictures and short descriptions of many of the attractions you can visit on our farm... |
 |
As you
enter, note the antique, restored fall wagon, complete w/ straw family and
farm decor. |
When
you enter the big red barn (see picture above), there's a video to see as
well as lots of animals and displays. |
| Farmer
Joyce does the video presenta- tion and sells snacks & coffee, too!  |
Farmer
Dave does the dairy presentation, and if Blossom has plenty of milk....
 |
you
might just get to milk a cow, too! (depending on time, size of group, etc) |
| On the
way to the dairy and hayride, you'll pass by our gift shop. Don't forget to stop in before you go! (peacock welcome optional)  |
Farmer
Eric will be driving the tractor so be sure to catch a hayride sometime
during your tour. |
Other
attractions include the pig pen...
...goat pen... ...raptor aviaries... ...bobcat pen... |
...chicken houses...
...sheep pen... ...pheasant aviary... ...javelina pen... |
...duck and geese pond...
...lama & emu pen... ...doves, quail, & pigeons aviary... ...and many herb and flower gardens... |
The
children's gardens are particularly beautiful ...
Humpty Dumpty is about to take a fall! |
...and
educational, too! (Repunzel lets down her hair.)
Don't get too close to the cactus garden...ouch! |
Butterflies occupy the Butterfly House on a seasonal basis but w/ the
waterfall and pond, it's always a tranquil place to visit. |
The
Memorial Garden is dedicated to our Old Friends and is particularly scenic
in the spring w/ all the wildflowers. |
Faeriewood is a favorite destination of kids and adults alike. Click

If you are part of a 10:00 tour and are planning to eat
lunch at the farm, you may do so after the tour in our covered pavillion
(see picture to the right) or any of the picnic tables outside of it (just
in case you'd rather commune w/ nature a little more closely). The 11:30
tour groups eat lunch there first - then tour (no need to check in at the
admission booth until you are ready to take your tour). Well, that completes your online tour of the farm...hope you enjoyed it! Now it's time to set an appointment to come see it in person! We look forward to your arrival and to showing you a wonderful time! |
