Get ready for some old-fashioned fun on the farm! Tour the mid-1800s limestone house and the historic red barn, meet some farmyard animals from Millers Petting Zoo and even try your hand at some farmstead chores like making butter from cream. See tractors and other antique farm equipment up close and personal and learn how they work. Be sure to bring your camera because the farm will be decorated for fall with plenty of photo opportunities throughout the property. There will be a barnyard-themed bounce house, make-and-take crafts and fun activities for all ages.Smokin’ Z BBQ and Kona Ice will be on site to provide some delicious lunch options. Oh, and there will be a band! While you’re listening to the bluegrass tunes of Rochambeau, Tapville Social will be keeping us cool with some ice-cold brews.
The Nature Foundation of Will County will host a native plant pop-up sale, and the Forest Preserve District will be selling its Outsider Threads T-shirts and merchandise. In addition, Wild Birds Unlimited will be selling bird feeders and outdoor decor and Ruhter Bison will be selling frozen bison meat.
