Our Weekend Visit to the Jeter Farm

Buddy and I had the best time. Thank you Tanya at Around Roanoke, VA, for your post about the Jeter Farm, because without you we would not have known about it. She included lots of information about the farm if you would like to learn its history. Everyone there was a CHILD...little ones, medium sized ones, and old ones like me. Bud and I did it all. Everyone was HAPPY. No one was yelling at anyone else. No children were crying. People were so polite to one another. IT WAS MAGICAL. We went thru the corn maze, rode the hay ride, children shot ears of corn from an air gun, we shot pumpkins into the pond (we both overshot the water) from an air pumpkin canon, ate Jeter home grown beef hamburgers with roasted corn, walked all over looking at the wee ones have such a good time, and I even went down the hill slide...and my back survived the rough landing at the bottom :-) None of the pictures need any words. They say it all without them. We all need more days like this one. A bit of old fashioned happiness is good for everyone.
Hello Genie, What a great fun day at the Jeter Farm. I love teh rolls of hay decorated and that slide looks like a fun time. Great series of photos! Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteI too thought the hay rolls were imaginative. Here in California hay is made into rectangular bales and all they can do with them is make pyramids for the kids to climb upon.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Genie! I am going to have to check out this farm some day, so thank you and thank you Tanya for sharing about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun indeed, Genie!! I love your captures and they're the next best thing to being there!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Have a wonderful new week!!!
ReplyDeleteThis really seems like a lot of fun. I wish we had (or at least I haven't heard of) such funny activities on farms in Belgium.
ReplyDeleteFabulous fun, Genie! A great place for "children of all ages."
ReplyDeleteI saw a haybale like the first one and almost pulled over. We have Sinkland Farms nearby, which is similar to Jeter.
ReplyDeleteWe have some local farms with slides, and decorated pumpkin people etc but I've never seen this sort of hay bale art !! What a fun post!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGenie your adventure looks like fun. I love the slide as well as the corn maze but I won't dare to go. ^_^ Oh and I so love the huge round hay with the faces on it. Like the pig!
