Took a tour on Sunday December 6, 2020. Family with a 6 and 8 year old. First off, we took the tour knowing the Amish owned businesses would be closed on Sunday. Unfortunately that’s the day my wife and I were in town so we proceeded anyway. I was assured there would still be plenty to see, and the staff was right! We did the 11am bus tour around the countryside. The tips given on how to find an Amish house made a really fun game the rest of the day with the kids. All day long even after the tour they pointed out houses! The bus driver, was very friendly and informative. We were separated in the back of the bus from a family of four in the front, to be socially distant. The windows were cracked on the bus allowing for fresh air circulation. And the bus driver wore a mask pre-tour and a face shield while driving and talking. So those with Covid precaution concerns, be assured the staff did a great job and safety! The tour was fun. We saw many Amish buggies and homes, schools, as well as homes that Amish were gathered in for church services. The non stop narration of the land was informative and kept my young kids interested.
After the bus, we did the house tour. Not too many rooms to see in the house, but it was entertaining for my wife and I. Unfortunately by this time my kids were kinda done with the tour and just wanted to feed the animals. (Recommendation-if traveling with small kids and have to choose, do the bus tour, skip the house and go right to the farm)
We then used the self guided map to explore the farm and feed the animals. It was such a great time and the animals were so friendly and loved being fed and pet! Overall it was a great experience and we highly recommend!

Thanks so much for your review. This year has been something, to say the least but we try hard to promote a safe and sanitized visit and it is good to know that you appreciated all our efforts. We are glad that the kids enjoyed the bus tour and our farm. The farm property is a great place to relax and enjoy animals and fresh air. Please come back and visit before too long! Happy Holidays.
