Lucy's School Trip To Wendel Farm

This was the best pumpkin patch/animal farm field trip I have ever experienced!  This family farm grows pumpkins and mums, but they are also and educational facility for preschoolers.  They teach "how to be a farmer" with a mock farm setup which houses a few real animals.  The kids learned about chickens, pigs, cows, donkeys, horses, goats, lamas and sheep.  They were able to feed and handle every animal.  They also had miniature barns, apple orchards and garden plots for the kids to pretend to farm.  My favorite were the wooden cows that the kids got to "milk".  Everything was so clean and the people were so knowledgeable and just awesome with kids.  In the end we were taken on a hay ride and allowed to pluck two big pumpkins from the fields.  love love love this place!
