Our harvest season for 2011 is coming to a close. Our final day being open with Christmas trees will be Tues. Dec. 20th. We wanted to take a moment to share our gratitude to all of the customers from May through December that support our family farm. We enjoy growing and selling flowers, produce, pumpkins and farm experiences, as well as Christmas trees. We love meeting all of the old and new faces that come to the farm, hearing where different folks are from, and learning what our customers like and dislike. Please feel free to send us an email through our contact us page. We appreciate any feedback our customers might want to share and take their thoughts and opinions into consideration during our winter planning months for the next year.
Thanks again for you support, and hope the New Year brings your family peace and joy! See you in the Spring.

We got our first look at our corn maze from the air on Wednesday and it looks great. We are excited to open it on October 1st along with all of our fun farm activities. You won’t want to miss this year at the farm. We have made a lot of improvements and we know your family will love them. Come on down on the 1st and navigate your way through this fun and challenging maze.
Our daughter attends Northwest Christian High School and for the first time runs on their Cross Country team. The girls cross country team has won the state 2B championship 5 years in a row! This just doesn’t happen by accident. We can’t tell you how amazed we are by the dedication and perseverance these young athletes and their volunteer unpaid coaches demonstrate. The team practices 6 days a week- even on holidays. As a team they give up all junk food and soda for the running season, and most importantly they support each other in their faith journey and encourage each other to reach their God given potential as runners. We are very proud of this team and hope you can make it out to watch them race or check them out on their team website: http://www.northwestchristianlacey.com/.
