At Young's Farm our seasons are determined not only by the change in weather patterns, but also by what product is coming off the fields. When the hay is ready usually around the middle of June we know that Spring is winding down and Summer is rolling in. When the corn comes off in late July we prepare for the hard summer monsoons and know that we are in the thick of the summer season. When the corn fades out and pumpkins turn orange we are reminded that it is almost fall once again. That is how the mind of a farmer works - not by dates but by planting and picking schedules.At this time of year our beardless barley and red clover hay has been stacked in the barn and is available for you to purchase. It makes great horse hay and sells for $5.00 a bale. They are two-string bales and weigh approximately 65-70 pounds. If you would like to purchase some hay just bring your truck or trailer to the farm and stop in the Farm Store to pay for your hay. The employees will direct you to the hay barn and someone should be available to help you load if needed. Hope you all had a great spring and we will see you this summer!

Zoey, the sheep has also brought a baby lamb to the petting zoo. We have baby goats that love to eat the feed (and the feed cups) right out of your hand. All of the mother cows on the farm have calved and we have 23 strong baby calves added to our herd. We will try to have a baby calf available for you to pet during each festival. And finally we have baby piglets in the critter corral. 6 baby pigs have joined us; they are just weaned and weigh about 25 pounds.
