They have a petting area with a pigmy goat, miniature cow, pig, and a donkey! She has bunnies, geese, ducks, sheep and chickens. The little store serves up homemade ice cream with lavender. There are soaps, lotions and potions all made with the lavender on the farm. You can pick your own bunch, buy a plant or just stop by and smell the Lavendar. Bring a picnic and enjoy the quiet beauty...well, until the animals get excited!

Great little western themed village with a really fun pumpkin patch every october. I have not been…read moreto any private events here but it would be a really cool place to host one. They have a bar and other covered seating areas that could accommodate a decent number of people. If you are a helicopter type of parent you might want to opt for one of the higher-end pumpkin patch experiences, as this one is more old school and authentic, which is what I like about it. The pumpkins were way too expensive imo though.

Favorite pumpkin patch! Plenty of parking very well set up for ease of access in and out! Plenty of…read morefamily activities including pony rides, bunnies, farm animals and a tractor ride!

I had a lovely experience picking organic cherries here! There are plenty of sweet (pink & dark) &…read moretart pie cherries, especially in the back.

My friends and I were looking for a little day adventure and we found this blueberry farm. It was…read moreso much fun to go out (it was a beautiful day) and come home with almost 16 pounds of blueberries! I picked about 8 pounds and paid only $15. When you get there, there's a small table with walker talkies for you to page the owner. The owner of the farm come out and talks to you about the blueberries and tell you to page him if you have any questions or need any help. The blueberries are beautiful and to me seemed very organic, no pesticides or herbicides seemed to be used. My friends participate in the "CSA" box that this farm offers that delivers a box or fresh vegetables and food to your door and a scheduled regular drop-off. They said some of the vegetables they've never seen before and they love experimenting with different foods they can make. Such a great local farm! Definitely a family friendly excursion!

We tried Matheson Farms for the first time last week. We were looking for a lower fat red meat and…read morelearned about yak. I was happy to find a local source at Matheson Farms. I checked out the offerings on line and decided to try the yak ribeye and ground yak, one pound of each. The farm stand wasn't quite open for the season (it is now open on Saturdays), so I simply sent them an email with my request. I received a prompt response and was able to set up a time to meet Sandra Matheson at the farm stand to pay for and pick up my meat. Both are items were nicely packaged and frozen. The yak ribeye was flavorful, but was tougher than we expected. We didn't do anything to it but add pepper. I think we will try marinating it next time and see if that helps. The ground yak was very good - we cooked patties and served it on a grilled portobello Mushroom cap. In addition to yak, Matheson also sells grass fed beef, which we also intend to try.

Pioneer Park is the perfect combination of a beautiful outdoor park plus the chance to take in some…read morelocal history. When you first enter the park you're greeted by a row of hand-built, historical buildings made by Whatcom County's earliest settlers and relocated to (what would eventually become) Pioneer Park. If you go on a day that some of the houses are open, for a small donation you can take a tour hosted by volunteers who know pretty much everything about the history of Ferndale and the county! The tour houses are set up with relics from the past - it's so interesting to see how the early settlers lived. Past the houses are open spaces where concerts are held, and the iconic barn which is the home of weddings, dances, and beer gardens throughout the summer. It's always fun to attend one of Pioneer Park's signature events, the Old Settlers Festival, where you are greeted with a ribbon denoting how long you've lived in these here parts, and then you get to enjoy the various vendors (and of course food!) before embarking to the barn where you will pretty much run into everyone you've ever known! Pioneer Park is also home to the beautiful and amazing Star Park, a children's playground build entirely by community volunteers. So now there are fun things for the little ones to do here, too!
