Berry Patch Farms - A Fall Tradition
October 16, 2019

Every fall, we enjoy taking a family field trip to Berry Patch Farms in Woodstock.

There are baby animals to see and a big play ground to explore.

Year after year, the tractor continues to be a crowd favorite!

Everyone gets to take a hay ride 'over the river and through the woods.

Running across the field and finding baby pumpkins is so much fun!

We love staying in touch with our past families and friends. We had some alumni from 2013 join us for this trip - can you believe how they have grown in 6 years?!

We wish all of you a happy fall filled with pumpkins, bonfires, leaves, and warm blankets!
