After a wonderful first poppy season, we’ve planted over 10 pounds of poppy seed (50,000+ seeds!) across three different fields. With blooms of red, pink, purple, and orange, our Parade of Poppies Weekend Adventure welcomes you out to explore. Join us for an educational and interactive tour where you can wander through our vibrant poppy patches, learn about our various poppy varieties, and the important role of pollinators. As you explore, you'll also meet the adorable baby highland cows from our neighbors at Cellar Creek—they’re ready for cuddles, pets, and lots of photos! Book tickets now to join the fun.
