Spring Season

We began our spring season with a great field trip. What fun having 27 lively, cute-as-bugs kindergartners from Garfield Elementary come to the farm! We watched chicks hatch and enjoyed the beautiful Spring day from a bouncing hayride through the timber.

Then the kids helped us plant pumpkins and pet baby ducks, turkeys, chicks, lambs and calves...Fun, fun, fun!!

Springtime Is Here At Last

There is so much going on at the farm already as we prepare for spring. We have put together a great spring field trip for you and your group here at Hickory Creek Farms.
Starting April 1 through the end of the school year you are welcome to join us for a fun time on the farm.


If you are planning to visit us, plan on about 2 hours for the adventure that you will take, then add about another half hour if you want to bring a picnic lunch and eat at our picnic area.



So much fun is waiting for you if you come to Hickory Creek Farms this spring. There are baby animals to pet, hay wagons to ride, horse rides to take, woods to take a nature hike through...

and of course, our famous train ride.

We can't wait to see you soon...don't forget to bring your camera to take a picture of the good time that your class will have as they get outside after the long winter indoors!

Newest Additions

With the coming of Spring, many new animals are making their appearance at Hickory Creek. Say hello and give a warm welcome to these wooly animals...twin siblings...Nibbles and Bits.
They are a great addition to the Farm Family and they can't wait to meet you this summer.

Of course, not to be shown up in his cuteness, is Boots...the new pony. He loves people and can't wait for this summer when he can show off.

We hope that you will come and make a special trip to see us and meet our newest additions.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Pumpkin Trivia

What do you do with 8 acres of leftover pumpkins after all the guests have found their perfect pumpkin and pumpkin season is over?


Answer:

Build an electric fence around the pumpkin patch and turn the cows out into them... YUMMM!!! They loved them and ate every last one!


This is the Zimmermans wishing you a very merry Christmas and a blessed 2010!!

Local Artists Active in Community Service

Several art students from Girard High School (under the leadership of Nicole Meyer) accepted the challenge to paint "quilt boards for our clothesline" for a new photo op at Hickory Creek Farms just west of Pittsburg.

They did a terrific job!

Havin' a Ball

Pictures speak louder than words, right?
Well, here's proof that lots of folks had a great time this weekend at Hickory Creek Farms' corn maze and pumpkin patch.

The sunshine was WONDERFUL and little Ashley Richenburg, daughter of Kiesha Richenburg, says, "Havin' a ball!"

*We'd love to have you come out and see for yourself! What a great opportunity to get some one-on-one interviews and pics of happy people.
Love those smiles!!!
