'Twas the Week Before Opening

‘Twas the week before opening, and all ‘round the farm,

We’re decorating everything with Christmas charm.

The barn was cleared out and set up with care,

In hopes that our Christmas trees soon would be there.

 

The nativity is nestled all snug in its place,

With angels and shepherds proclaiming God’s grace.

The weatherman is predicting a weekend cold snap,

And we’ve had no time for a long winter’s nap!

We’ve been trimming our trees with lights galore,

We are the place to shop for your Christmas décor!

And what to your wondering eyes should appear,

But fresh greens and garlands to bring your home cheer!

 

We’ll have door prizes to win and wassail to sip,

All this stuff is for free, but we do accept tips!

If its specials you want, then come check them out,

While you munch on some snacks and wander about.

 We here end this poem, but we hope you’ll agree,

Our Christmas Open House is something to see.

So on Friday the 25^th, we’ll be merry and bright,

To wish you a Christmas season filled with delight!

Road Construction

After getting a few calls from folks trying to get to our farm by coming down County Rd. 3 from Hwy 281, here's some new information:

 - Although you'll see a "Road Closed" sign, the road is passable according to people who drive it every day.  We would recommend driving a higher clearance vehicle like a pick-up, because it's not always completely leveled out and it's a little rough.

We plan to call the county today and see what we can do for signage because it's pretty  misleading and there aren't any detour signs to follow.

We sincerely apologize for the hassle for those of you who attempted to get here coming that way.  If you're concerned about driving through the low maintenance road, the best bet is to come over on Interstate 94 and down Hwy 1 from Jamestown, and east on Hwy 11 and over on the Guelph highway from Ellendale. 

We so appreciate our visitors from afar and wish the road work would have been completed in time!  Hopefully, this information helps!  See you all soon!

Some of our Visitors...
