Activities

– BOUNCE HOUSE!!! (we do ask that you stay with your child while they are in the bounce house for safety)
– Corn Box (big box with toys and corn for the kids to play in…this is always super popular!)
– Scavenger Hunt (grab a clipboard and pencil and go exploring…remember to look EVERYWHERE…even on the tours)
What do you need to bring with you?
– Sunscreen (wagon hayrides may be uncovered and they are out in the fields with no shelter)
– Bottled water or something to drink (we will have water and Gatorade available and the food vendors will have drinks as well)
– Both card and cash (some vendors may not be able to take a card and we don’t want you to miss out on some great goodies!)
– Camera and/or phone (we encourage you to take pictures of your family and share them with us by using #farmday2024)
– Comfortable shoes/clothes (we are a working farm so keep that in mind when getting dressed that morning!)
– YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR NEIGHBORS (help spread the word…this is always a fun day on the farm!!)
– We are a working farm and for the safety of your pets, our animals and others at the event we ask that you leave all pets at home. Service animals are allowed.
Where do you park?
We feel like this is going to be one of our biggest events ever! There should be plenty of parking if everyone works together. Here’s an aerial view to give you an idea of what we have in mind for efficient parking. If all of the yard parking is full then feel free to park along Colony Road!

“Watson Farms is beyond good, they are GREAT! The beef is so delicious and tender. Their pasture chicken and eggs are delectable! Professionally packaged. All meals we make with their meats are devoured immediately. I love their delivery service as well! Once a week I have brought to my door everything we need. Purchasing an additional freezer for their whole cow now! Order with full confidence – bon appetite!”

Tell a Friend!
It’s now easier than ever to Give $15 and Get $15 through our Referral Program. We don’t spend a lot of money of advertising, but rather we focus on producing products that people love and are willing to tell others about. So we depend on word of mouth to find new customers and ultimately to heal more land.
So in an effort to streamline this process we have made it easier to tell others (via email, Facebook, or Twitter) about Watson Farms. And it’s all automated on the backend, so you don’t have to rely on us to issue the store credits manually. Just head over to our Referrals Page and start sharing!
Thanks again for being partners in this endeavor of local, pasture-raised proteins that has truly transformed our farm. We look forward to continuing this transition while serving you long into the future.
Sincerely,
The Watsons
