Fairbank Animal Farm and Pumpkin Patch

(From Fairbank Animal Farm Website)  
The farm opens an animal barn and pumpkin fields on weekends in October for drop-in traffic. Families, couples, and individuals who want to buy pumpkins and see and pet chicks, ducklings, calves, sheep, goats, ponies, pigs, and rabbits are welcome and will enjoy their time at the farm. Upon entering each person receives a cup of animal food they can throw to the ducks and chickens in the chicken run. Parking is free at the entrance and admission is $2.50 per person.

On weekdays educational tours are given to registered school groups. The children will have the opportunity to pet and learn about many farm animals including pigs, ducks, turkeys, goats, ponies, sheep, calves, peacocks, and chickens. Tours must have a minimum of 8 children.  
In October the tour guide focuses on harvest and the children get to feed pumpkins to the pigs. They each also get to take home a sugar pumpkin that they pick out of the field. The entrance fee for children is $5.00/child and adults are free for the weekday registered tours. The entrance fee includes one pumpkin per child.  
In April the children get to help feed a baby cow, or calf, and the focus is on baby animals. They will get to pet chicks and ducklings and learn about eggs. The entrance fee is $5.00/child and adults are free for weekday registered tours.
