Caroling Hay Ride

This is the perfect time of year to bring people to the farm to enjoy the Christmas season. Why not get the hay out of the barn arrange it on your trailer and hitch up to the tractor and take people caroling through our farm. Day or night caroling can be fun.

Serve cocoa, cookies or fire up the camp fire and serve roasted hot dogs and smores. Keep the menu simple and let everyone join in the fun by preparing their own meal.
