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.
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.

Yes! Plan extra time and take your pick of the best pumpkins at the Bowers Farm. Pumpkins of varying sizes will be available for purchase.

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.
