Mostly for Groups, but Hayrides can be enjoyed by individuals and families at various times. Call for details.
The owners of Winding Brook Farm came up with a wonderful solution to encroaching urban and industrial development: give people a taste of the farming life. People have been enjoying hayrides here for some forty years. Now they can also enjoy a complete Guided Tour.
Winding Brook is a real live fourth generation dairy farm with some 250 cows. In addition to its 137-acre home farm, Winding Brook farms 1,000 acres, growing corn, soybeans, rye, wheat, strawberries, and other produce.
Individuals and families can enjoy a 30-minute Hayride Tour, learning about the various aspects of farming. During the fall, the wagon goes out to the Pumpkin Patch, where visitors can pick their own. The ride is always fun and educational. Kids love it.
Groups (20 or more people) have an even wider range of tour opportunities. A Birthday Party here includes a Hayride on a special wagon, 3-hour use of beautiful picnic facilities, sacks for sack races, and more. A Petting Farm is available for an additional fee.
Other Groups may opt for an Evening Ride under the stars. Again, a picnic area is available, which can include a bonfire for roasting hot dogs.
School Groups get an hour-long ride and tour. This includes a Milking Demonstration (kids usually get to touch the cows), a Sheep Wool Museum, and a trip to the Petting Farm. A visit here provides a unique glimpse into the farming life. Wagons hold from 25 to 30 people.
The general public can also simply go pumpkin picking on October weekends.
