The farm boasted of horses, cows, and chickens. Pigs, sheep, bunnies and little baby chics.
It had a pumpkin patch, hay rides, horse rides, cookie decorating, and a lovely little play area filled with nature activities for the kids.
All yours for only for the suggested donation of $2.
What a precious little farm. I didn't even know it existed, no doubt being overlooked in way of the other bigger, more publicized farms around here.
Sounds great. Sounded great before we went.
And, then we get there. And quickly realize that this is the most expensive free farm ever!
The suggested donation did not say suggested on the sign when we got there. And then the suggested donation was no longer a flat $2, but now $2 per person. Plus you had to pay extra for the horse rides. The hay rides. The cookie decorating. The pumpkin patch. All of which was made assumed to be free in the newsletter. That was one deceiving newsletter. I'm surprised they didn't make us pay to look at the animals. And they weren't nice about it either. When asked if we had to pay for the little kids to ride the hay ride, they bark back, "if they're old enough to walk you need to pay for them." Well dang! Rude too. So much for suggested and so much for free and so much for nice.
We will not be going back there. But, ya live and learn. And now we know...always go to Bloom Where You're Planted, the best little farm around.
*(okay, I know that $2 per person to get into a farm during Fall is not that bad...but it's the principal. The principal.) :~)
