Dig Deep for End-of-Summer Fun Labor Day weekend

Aug. 19, 2013 - PRLog --  

Come with an empty stomach to The Big Dig (http://www.greatcountryfarms.com/index.php/the-big-dig.html) on Saturday, August 31^st & Sunday, Sept 1^st at Great Country Farms.  Celebrate the end of summer with pancakes, potatoes, trucks and tractors as the Farm hands get into the dirt. The taste and texture of fresh potatoes is completely different from typical grocery store products that are often a year old. Kids can experience first-hand how to search for spuds by digging in our potato fields. If the weather permits, Farmer Mark’s tractor will rip a row and turn over fresh taters for easier picking. The Farm Market carries pre-picked farm produce including tomatoes, fruits, and other veggies along with locally produced meat and dairy products. 

 

The day starts with pancakes hot off the griddle piled high and topped with delicious fruit syrups, juice and coffee. The All-You-Can Eat Pancake Breakfast runs till 11:30am and is included with admission.  The hayride will take you to the fields so you can dig potatoes and visit other U-Pick areas. The Farm posts updates of produce availability on its social media pages as weather conditions affect each crop differently. 

 

Kids can romp all over the five acre playground and visit with the friendly farm animals or do some catch & release fishing. Picnic around our featured tractors and antique truck and take behind the wheel photos of all the family members. Leashed dogs are welcome and can run free in our off leash areas. The Roosteraunt is open from 9am-4pm. 

 

The Big Dig event details:

$10/child & $12/adult includes Pancake Breakfast until 11:30am.

Saturday, Aug 31^st and Sunday, Sept. 1^st 9am-6pm
