Today is our last day of the summer season! We will be switching to weekend only general admission through the end of September as we prepare to host school tours, homeschool days, and even Legends and Lore 🎃
Fall on the farm also brings us the chance to show off harvesting our crops, fruits and vegetables, working with meat and sausage making, canning and preserving food, and some of our favorite fall recipes.
We are forever grateful for our staff, and hope that everyone returning to school in the next few weeks has the best year ever. Thank you for an incredible summer! ... See MoreSee Less

We got married at OWW 20 years ago this Wednesday (8/27). It's been our tradition to go back every year. . . I guess just dinner this year though. Shucks. But you all probably need a break between seasons
Looking forward to Legends and Lore with my Girl Scout troop!
How long (date) do you do school tours in the fall? Would love to schedule a field trip mid to end of October.
Oh how is fall here already? I loved working at OWW. Wish I could again!
Such a great place with amazing staff!!!
What a great group.
Have you named the baby animals yet?
Wow, times goes fast!! Hard to believe this upcoming weekend is Labor Day too
We had a great trip this summer! Thanks to all the demonstrators and shuttle drivers.
Cortney Elizabeth Higgins homeschool daysssss I can't wait
Woot! Colleen Chase 💪🍺
Oh I miss my time working at OWW! Would love to be back!
What weekend is the butchering?
