The Harvest Festival at Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc.
Join us on the last Saturday in September!
Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the autumn season while you support our non-profit, children’s program. See our 32+ Farm Program animals at our beautiful, educational site in Corbett. Join Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc. for fall, family fun. We have covered spaces and warming fires so join us rain or shine!
“J.P. Morgan” horse, is having a birthday on October 1. Help us celebrate with all things horse-y! We will have a horse “Selfie-Station” to take pictures in, have horse prizes, have horse trivia and birthday cake, of course!
Plus, if you would like to help celebrate and bring party gifts to J.P., please bring oats, apples or carrots. We will give him and our other horses treats throughout the day. Please do not hand feed our horses though, they can bite.
$6 per person. Babies and kids 1 year old & under are free of charge.
Included in that one entrance price:
- See and learn from our beautiful, educational Farm Program.
- Enjoy a family hayride.
- Mount our stationary (fake) horse.
- Dig for prize potatoes.
- Meet all of the program animals including the real horses, mini. horses, pony, goats, sheep, pig, geese, ducks, chickens, and farm dogs and cats too.
- Enjoy the Selfie Station to take your own pictures with horse props & western props.
- Bring your own old clothes to make a scare crow out of our hay and twine. You can take it home with you.
- Let them eat cake! Enjoy a piece of J.P.’s birthday cake while supplies last.
- Sip hot chocolate, tea or cider and enjoy the Morgan horse trivia page in the schoolhouse too!
All of this above is included in that per person price. Your funds will help us help kids at our non-profit, children’s program and will help keep our teachers, our Farm Program animals fed this winter. We thank you in advance for the help!
Please bring cash for:
Shopping in our Farm Store, roast up hot dogs and marshmallows in our wonderfully covered Fire Pit structure, $5 hot dog with all the fixings, $1 all-you-can-eat marshmallows, $1 water and $1 chips (while supplies last), ride a real horse ($10 each ride but only if it is not pouring rain) and more. Cash is best. Small bills will be much appreciated. Taking credit cards is dicey as it is a rural area. The entire system has gone down at an event before and we have lost power one time too. PLEASE BRING CASH!
If you or your kids want to ride horses, then please wear long pants, sturdy tied on shoes and have your hair pulled back so you can see well. Parents will need to walk with and hold their little kids while they ride so please do not wear sandals. If a horse steps on your toe, it could be crushed.
Prepayment is required to join us for the Harvest Festival event from this link, and we will schedule families/groups starting at 10:00 a.m. and each hour after. Please come during your hour but stay as long as you like. We have plenty of indoor and outdoor space.
REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW! Click this link for the last Saturday in September!
We look forward to having you join us as our guests!
The “Fine Print” Details:
We are open by appointment only! Please do not just show up; we will not take “walk ins” unless you have pre-registered please. Please make every effort to join us during your hour that you registered.
Please find directions here. Please do not use Google Map; it is wonky half the time.
Sorry, no refunds please. If you cannot join us, then let us know so we can open it up to another family. Please let us know early. If you cannot join us, after the event, contact us so we can send you our postcard receipt. With that, you can take the funds as a tax-deductible donation! We are a small non-profit, children’s program and so we unfortunately cannot afford to return funds nor do we have the staff to process refunds. We have the costs associated with the event whether you join us or not. No Refunds For Any Reason Please!
No Pets Allowed Please! We come under what is commonly known as the “Zoo Clause” and to ensure our animal’s safety, outside animals are NOT ALLOWED at our Farm Program. Additionally, our farm dogs are responsible for protecting our program animals and can be vicious towards unknown animals, even pets and service dogs (though they love people!). Our dogs will do everything they can to keep our livestock safe from coyotes and raccoons. It is impossible to explain “service animals” to our dogs. No pets allowed please. Thanks for that.
