1 review for Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point
Farm Country is a great family outing.. It offers wagon rides, pony rides, petting areas, places to feed a host of farm animals (including sheep, goats, lamas, chickens, turkeys, horses and cows), and a place to learn how milk a cow. Barnyard boo is a fun, small kid oriented activity near Halloween - a must hit in October if you have small kids. It's among the reasons we have a seasons pass to Thanksgiving Point.
Specialties
Where does milk come from?
How does a baby chick get out of its shell?
What do llamas eat?
When it comes to the big questions, Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point has all of the answers. Bring your little ones to spend an afternoon helping us milk the cow, gather the eggs, groom the animals, buck the hay, and slop the pigs. It's a fun, hands-on experience for the whole family.
History
Established in 1996
When Alan and Karen Ashton, co-founders of WordPerfect Corporation, purchased the property now known as Thanksgiving Point on Valentine's Day, 1995, it had 580 dairy cows and more than 350 acres of hay, barley, and alfalfa fields. Initially, the new owners bought the land for a farm where their children could enjoy riding horses and caring for farm animals. But their plans soon expanded to include beautiful flower gardens and extensive vegetable gardens.
By the summer of 2006, the nonprofit institute included the fifty-five acre Thanksgiving Point Gardens, Museum of Ancient Life, Farm Country, Harvest Restaurant, Deli and Bakery, eight large conference and banquet rooms, the Emporium with gracious offerings for your home, ten acres of beautifully landscaped reception areas; a 4,000-seat outdoor waterfall amphitheatre, and; an 18-hole championship golf course.
