It's been a busy summer! <br /><br /> We are wrapping up our last week of Farm Camp tomorrow. At farm camp kids get to work with the animals, weed, harvest, scoop manure, ride horses, do crafts and and play games! How fun is that. We love the last day when parents are invited and receive a vip guided tour from their kids of the farm and animals. Plus a hay ride, of course, although the camp kids don't get to to drive the hay ride...

Up to our ears in corn! This year our corn maze theme is Nevada Proud to celebrate Nevada's 150 year birthday. We have teamed with the awesome guys at <a href="http://www.mazeplay.com/">Maze Play</a> for the design of our maze. We are super excited that we also have some great maze games from Maze Play called <a href="http://www.mazeplay.com/farm-scene-investigation/">Farm Scene Investigation</a> and Farm Tracks! These interactive games are very engaging for kids and adults.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;"> As usual we are planting lots of varieties of pumpkins and have doubled our crop size. (Which means double the weeding!) Our goal is to have a great selection of pumpkins for you whether you come at the beginning or end of October. Come out and find your perfect pumpkin from our pumpkin patch.<br /> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9uzeyGzqvJwIKdLi2ffRyGfNiLo1V4FnUwnPIYI-lD-37a0qLV8_RzGBfayOeZR83wWMUiUEQlPpsNAgEYLE2N8wl1rk0Gns5b6857ASiMCXbKjZAeLoVzvyWedOnUHTFietg5rhNK8/s1600/Photo+Jul+21,+8+27+10+PM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9uzeyGzqvJwIKdLi2ffRyGfNiLo1V4FnUwnPIYI-lD-37a0qLV8_RzGBfayOeZR83wWMUiUEQlPpsNAgEYLE2N8wl1rk0Gns5b6857ASiMCXbKjZAeLoVzvyWedOnUHTFietg5rhNK8/s1600/Photo+Jul+21,+8+27+10+PM.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
We are introducing our second season of farm camp this summer! It's going to be a week of fun! Your kids will come home with crafts, fresh
garden veggies, knowledge and experience with animals, and great memories. <br />
Below
are the weeks farm camp will be offered:
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
June 16th - 20th 9am - 1:00pm (the week after school is out)</div>
<br />
<div>
July 21st - 25th 9am - 1:00pm</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
Both of those sessions are for kids ages 6-12 and are half day programs.<br />
<div>
The cost is
$135 for the week. (there is a $10 discount for additional sibling)</div>
<br />
<div>
Each session of camp is limited to 20 kids (two groups of 10, and there
are two counselors per group of 10).<br /><br /> We will provide a healthy snack and plenty of water every day. You will need
to send a sack lunch with your child.</div>
<br />
<div>
We will have a parent/child farm tour experience on the last day
(Friday) of camp from 12 noon until 1:00pm where the kids will show parents
around and teach what they have learned!</div>
<br />
<div>

then send back by mail at your earliest convenience!</div>

The weather has been beautiful and made for fantastic days at the Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. Our Corn Maze has even been open at night and last weekend we had the light of a FULL MOON to explore it with. We have been excited that so many people have come to the farm this year and we thank you for your support and positive feedback.<br />
<br />
<b>Announcements for this week October 21 to October 26</b><br />
The weather forecast is amazing, come on out!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Nevada Day October 25th</b><br />
Home means Nevada, Home means the Hills, Home means the Sage and the Pine.......Friday is Nevada Day! Free Hay Rides, Free Popcorn, Free Papa Murphy's pizza samples, Free Little White Baby Boo Pumpkins (while supplies last). <br />
<br />
<b>Saturday Halloween Fest October 26th</b><br />
Wear a costume and get $2 off admission into the pumpkin patch. We will have Trick-or-Treating around the barn yard between 10am and noon. Plus a magic show at 12 noon and 1:30 for just $1 per ticket. <br />
<br />
<b>Scare Creepers Haunted Corn Maze</b><br />
The Scare Crows have come alive and with the help of other creatures and ghouls taken over the Corn Maze. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week and Halloween night from 8pm to 10pm the Corn Maze will be Haunted! If you thought it was creepy at night before, just wait till you experience it haunted. We will have two levels of scare. So for the younger folks we will have glow necklaces for them to wear which will let the Scare Crows know to dial down the scare factor to low for that group. <br />
During the day the un-haunted Corn Maze will be open for general admission. It will be closed from 7pm to 8pm for setup of the haunt.<br />
<br />

We know of only 3 other corn mazes in the Northern Nevada region and they are awesome! So we thought we would try our hand at a big corn maze. We planted a type of corn referred to as field corn. It is grown for the purpose of harvesting for feed for animals or to be used to make corn meal or corn flour. Field corn is great for mazes because the stalks grow very tall (Our tallest is about 9 feet at the writing of this blog post) and the leaves on the stalks are big and full. Here are some pictures of our growing process.<br />

Since we were planting in a new field that used to be pasture we had to spend alot of time prepping the soil with the ripper and disc. Here is Kyle taking a shift with the disc.</div>

Last year we planted the 1 acre of corn with a hand pushed planter that does 1 row at a time. That method wasn't going to fly this year so I bought some International Harvester 185 Planter units from a corn farmer in Parma Idaho and built a 3 point 2 row planter that goes on the tractor. Much easier! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the planter in action. </div>

We called it our "kids corn maze" because the corn wasn't very tall. Many parents told us they liked the maze because they didn't lose their kids in it and they didn't get lost since they could see over the corn. We decided to do the same thing this year. Here are some of our progress pictures:<br />

We also have some baby goats which will be featured in the next post, and will hopefully have new calves soon - we're pretty sure our mama cow is pregnant, and maybe even Kane the "cak"! We'll keep you posted!<br />
<br />
I have a few more open days for field trips in April and May, and a few birthday party openings in May. Call or email to schedule. <br />

<br />
We are taking on a fun character to be part of our pumpkin patch this year....it is Spookley the Square Pumpkin! He is a character from a book (called Spookley the Square Pumpkin) and now a movie that is on Disney Jr. <br />
<br />
Not only is he cute, but he promotes a good cause. October is National Bullying Prevention month, so it's a good time to raise awareness to children about bullying and the negative effects it has on everyone. Because Spookley is different since he is a square pumpkin, he is made fun of and feels bad about himself. Then he has the chance to prove himself and show that everyone is important, no matter what they look like! <br />
<br />
The story is really cute, and we will be sharing it in our story times this season! We will also be playing the movie in the art barn this season too. The books and DVDs will be available to purchase in our market, and our corn maze will have a "Spookley hunt" in it as well!<br />
<br />
Come check out Spookley!<br />

Our son is about the same heighth as them and so maybe they don't feel threatened by him..... they let him stand by them, pet them and get up close and personal. My husband says they run away or try to chase him when HE is in their pen. <br />

We also set up a nest in the garage with a broody hen named Kyoger. She is sitting faithfully on some fertilized eggs and being a surrogate mother. We did this last year with her and she hatched out 3 chicks! We have 6 eggs under her this year.<br />

There are two school groups that are incubating some of our eggs, and will bring the chicks back after they have hatched. We also have a broody hen who we are going to (hopefully) have hatch out some (hopefully) fertile eggs. Those chicks will be Rhode Island Reds and Silkie Cochins.<br />
The chicks are so cute and grow so fast! We got mostly Buff Orpingtons and Golden Sexlink chicks, but decided to try two new breeds - Brahmas and Turkins. See the pictures below! <br />
