Peterson's Farm Goal
Our prime objective at Peterson's Farm is to provide
fresh,
naturally grown farm products to visitors.
We also want to share our knowledge
and enjoyment of small scale family farming with everyone.
We offer a fine selection of seasonal products such
as pumpkins, honey, tomatoes and two kinds of
persimmons, the hard
and the soft varieties.
We enjoy giving you ideas and helpful hints on how to use our products.
We welcome visitors that want to purchase quality, pesticide and herbicide free
farm products at reasonable prices.
Peterson's Farm is an
enjoyable, educational destination for families and schools.
2009 was our 50th Wedding Anniversary. In honor of that we had a special portrait made of the two of us which we have been given permission from Harvey Henningsen, the portrait photographer to share with all of you.
Our school tours are very educational. Ettamarie is a retired Elementary Teacher (37 years in public schools). Students will
have a lesson about bees and will see bees at work in the observation hive.
We will teach the children how to feed the animals. The lessons are customized
for each age group. The bee talk emphasizes the bees as an example
of the insect world and how they help plants. Our focus is on agriculture.
Children will find a New England Pie pumpkin to take home after their fall tour.
Our charge is $5 per child and nothing
for the adults.
It is time now to schedule the October tours. Many time slots are filled already!
We do have a picnic area. Please instruct your group how to sort the garbage into food scraps, material that can be recycled and non-recyclable garbage.
We are a bee friendly farm!
In the fall we give a talk about bees and how their life cycle is like the butterfly's. The children also get to see and feed the animals. They will enjoy going out among the pumpkin vines and finding just the right pumpkin to take home. School groups usually spend about an hour and a half here, more if they eat lunch in the picnic area. Our field trips are learning experiences, not just a day away from school! The charge is $5 per student.
