With so much happening every weekend in October, the hardest part will be choosing which day to come!

A word to the wise:
If you're a "let the skies do what they will" kind of person who loves adventure on the farm regardless of the weather, buy your tickets today!
If you're a "fair weather" kind of person, hold off on buying tickets until you can check the forecast to enjoy your adventure your way.
Fall Festival is just good ol' farm fun, no matter the weather!
See you at the farm!

FAQs
Where do I park?
You'll see many signs leading you to the free parking area. Parking is on the farm property and there will be volunteers available to assist you. Parking is free. Additional parking is at the International Academy (1020 E Square Lake Rd) west of the farm with shuttle service (follow the signs).
Where does the wagon ride take you and how long is it?
You'll see signs for the pickup area and the wagon will take you around the property to view the animals grazing in the pasture. The wagon will bring you back to the same pick-up area. The ride takes approximately 15 minutes total. Wagon rides are included with your entry fee.
What kind of animals will we be able to visit?
The barns will be open for guests to walk through to visit our animals. We have goats, ponies, horses, sheep, a llama, pigs, rabbit and poultry. When you're on the wagon ride, you'll most likely see horses, goat and sheep grazing in the pasture. Feel free to pet the animals and ask the staff lots of questions! We just ask that you do not feed the animals anything. They're on a strict farm diet.
Do you sell pumpkins?
Yes! Plan extra time and select your best pumpkin from about the farm. Pumpkins of varying sizes will be available for purchase.
What type of clothing should I wear?
All Michiganders know our weather is ever-changing, so please dress for the forecast. Wear comfortable, casual clothing with sturdy walking shoes or sneakers for walking on dirt trails. If the forecast calls for rain, just grab your raingear and boots and still plan on coming out. You may want to wear boots or old shoes if it has rained recently as the grounds may be a little wet.
Can I bring my own food and beverages?
We sell food at the festival along with beverages. Outside food and beverages are prohibited. Smoking is also not permitted on the farm.
What kid of food is available for purchase?
We will have a variety of meals which will change throughout the month, along with with donuts, cider and more at the Bowers Farm Concession.
Are there places to sit or “hang out”?
There are picnic tables about the farm, many under the tent. There are also benches about the property. You are more than welcome to use the space when you need to take a break or enjoy some fall food that we sell.
Can I reserve a table?
Since this is a public event, we cannot reserve tables.
Do you have heated spaces?
This is an outside event with tents. We do have a Farm Store which is heated.
Can I bring my dog or other pet?
For the safety of our farm animals and other visitors, dogs and family pets must be left at home.
What are the guidelines for horse rides?
We will be offering horse rides for a $5 fee. Our recommended age is 4+. Parents will not be able to walk alongside the horse to hold up their child, so the rider must be able to sit confidently on their own. Horse riding tickets will be available for purchase at the Admissions desk on the day of the event and are limited throughout select times.
