The Farm will be open for scheduled field trips today, Thursday April 25th. Schools and groups with confirmed reservations are welcome to the Farm today for field trips from 9 am to 2 pm. The weather will be a bit windy but should be much warmer than yesterday. Very little rain fell yesterday, so; conditions are very good for outdoor activities.
Dewberry Farm is closed for the Christmas tree season and the Fall season. We will open for April field trips this Spring but will not open to the general public until the last weekend in September 2013. Like us on Facebook to stay updated on what’s happening at the Farm while we are closed and adding new attractions for the coming year. Hope to see you next Fall.
While we didn’t have a photo contest last week, several photos were submitted to our FlickR account. Below is a slideshow of those images. Thanks to all who submitted photos. Thanks for visiting Dewberry Farm and we would like to see you here again.
A sort of agricultural AstroWorld, Dewberry Farm offers far more than just pumpkin pleasures, though you can pick your own here every fall.
There are also pig races, huge slides, the singing chickens of the Cackle Palace, a multicolored sunflower patch, and a corn maze that will remind you of Malachi and Isaac and those other freaky, murderous quasi-Amish teens from the Stephen King maize-themed classic.
Minerally minded kids can pan for semi-precious stones, fossils and arrowheads at Zeke’s Lost Treasure claim-stake, and kids and adults alike can chuckle at the antics of hungry goats pursuing treats up and over a 20-foot bridge. Farmtastic fun for everyone.
Closed in the summer, Dewberry Farm opens for business this year on September 29.
BROOKSHIRE – This time of year, when the sun goes to bed just that much sooner and there are rare, cherished mornings when the air outside is cooler than the air inside, it seems right to go visit a corn maze.
And while there are ample choices, you could do a lot worse than visiting Dewberry Farm in Brookshire, which celebrates its 10th anniversary when it opens this weekend.
But if you think the man who styles himself as “Farmer Dewberry,” Larry Emerson, is a bumpkin, guess again. And it’s his very un-bumpkinness that brought Dewberry Farm into being.
