cream, fudge and 20 different kinds of home-made pies. Also the best
cinnamon rolls are made there every morning. During the month of October
there is free hay rides to the pumkin patch. Picking your own berries was a
very fun time on the farm. They have a farm dog which seems to really love
all the attention. The country store was remodeled this year with a new
bakery and some of the best pies that I have tasted. The baker is within
view while he is preparing the pies so that you know they are made right
there. The cinnamon rolls are to die for and are made every day." (UPDATED:
