Crawford Farms Opens September 25th

As fall approaches, Crawford Farms is preparing to open on Saturday. Co-owner Mason Crawford is looking forward to opening day.

“It’s a good opportunity for families to come out. We love having folks visit and see how things are grown. We’re open for 6 weeks a year, but it’s basically a 12 month commitment to make those 6 weeks go off as seamlessly as possible. Every minute we’re not at our regular jobs, we’re here at the farm.”

The Farm has over 1,000 kids registered to visit the site. The farm is a safe and family friendly environment that features fun activities for any age.
