Parkside Farm

What a marvelous morning at Muskegon Area District Library! We are so thankful to MADL for having the Jump for JOY Program® out again for their families. 114 of you joined us today to learn about pygmy goats, listen to a story time reading of Samson the Baby Pygmy Goat and Stella Bella's Pygmy Goat Miracles.

Activities included: meet, greet, brush, feed and photos the pygmy goats, a coloring station and goat and cow milk ice cream packets where each individual got to shake to make their own ice cream! So thankful the rain stopped in time for our visit and to MADL for snapping these amazing photos and sharing them with us. 😍

This week’s bouquet flavor profile! Should have peony bouquets through the end of June. Next up with be sunny sunflowers! Specializing in seasonal bouquets made to order for pickup in Byron Center, MI.

We headed to Kalamazoo today for a special event at Kalamazoo Growlers to help spread JOY and celebrate Duncan Aviation 70th anniversary! We had so much fun interacting with all the kiddos and families. We met some wonderful fellow goat and sheep owners and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

What an absolutely beautiful morning with two back to back farm tour field trips with Cascade and Beltline Learning Experience locations with 41 participants. So grateful for TLE, this is the third year they’ve booked field trips here!

We had so much fun learning about agriculture and everything that is grown and produced here at the farm! We went on a walking tour and got to see all fruits, plants and vegetable seedlings that are growing around the farm.

Of course we spent time meeting and feeding the pygmy goats and baby chicks, too! THIS IS WHY farms matter and why they are so important for communities and families to be involved. Farmland and farming needs to be preserved for future generations.

My new name is now Cowgirl and the kids asked, where is the cowboy? So from now on Ken is now known as Cowboy Ken 🤠 we have availability July through October to get farm tour field trips scheduled! Call or text: 616-201-0220.

Custom order for a bridal shower! I just loved these vintage large blue ball jars the customer brought. Still have lots of peonies available in the cooler! I’d love to help make your special event more beautiful 💐
