Their new home is located in a National Heritage Agricultural District. Their goal at the new farm property is to have a diversified and sustainable farm using traditional as well as modern methods and tools.
Hospitality Spring Farm started their Babies and Blooms event last year, and are bringing it back again this year in April.
The event will take place on every weekend of the month, and there will be chances for people to see the farm, animals and flowers.
There will be many activities going on during those days for people to participate and watch.
There is a drive-thru option for people who want to see the farm, but do not feel comfortable getting out of the car.
During the events they will have a lot of baby goats, pigs, chicks and ducks.
