Meet Cookie Mouse!
If a hungry little mouse shows up in your bookstore, you might want to give him a cookie. And if you give him a cookie, he’ll ask for a glass of milk. He’ll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a milk mustache, and then he’ll ask for a pair of scissors to give himself a trim…
Mouse will be joining us in store for all kinds of fun and adventure! Join us April 20th at 10AM for a very special story time featuring our favorite Mouse and some of his very favorite stories!
This event is free and open to all ages! We’ll have crafts and coloring after the stories. We hope you’ll join us!
Guided Walking Tour
LOW IMPACT (11:00am-12:00pm) … This tour stays centrally focused around the farm store, visits with the baby animals, and provides an in-depth history of the farm and family. This tour is great for limited mobility guests, those with young children, and anyone who is interested in the historical side of HNG.
HIGH IMPACT (1:00pm-2:00pm) … This tour goes exploring through our 80 acres of working farmland. Head to the top of UFO hill for a spectacular view, walk alongside the creek through forest, see the grazing animals on pasture, and learn about regenerative agriculture. You will get an overview of our farm history but a more in-depth look at our farming practices. We will be traversing over rough terrain, so suitable hiking attire is suggested.
Adults: $12
Youth (Age 10-17): $8
Children (Under 10): Free
