Meet our newest farm babies – lambs, piglets, calves, chicks and kids (goats, that is)–and enjoy events and activities throughout the Village, from daily talks about the farm and the Shakers to craft demonstrations to walks along the Farm & Forest Trail.  To allow enough time for your visit, please arrive at the Village between 11am-4:00pm.

We also offer a very special BEHIND-THE-SCENES tour each day at 10am! Hop aboard our wagon hayride and take your hour-long tour and get all the dirt about our farm from the farmers themselves. Learn about the history of the Shaker Village and farm including little known facts and secrets and pet the newest and cutest members of our family. The tour will take you to see the animals in the Round Stone Barn, Dairy Ell, and barnyard where you’ll meet this year’s calves, lambs, kids, piglets, and chicks. After the tour, you are welcome to re-visit the barn and explore the rest of the Village, which opens to the general public at 11 am.
