Everson WA Stoney Ridge Farm
Today I went out to the Everson area of Whatcom County and visited Stoney Ridge Farm and was amazed at the depth and quality of what this farm has to offer. I’ve heard from friends and neighbors about Stoney Ridge before, but until I actually went out their today, I didn’t realize they had so much to offer to the public.
Stoney Ridge Farm is open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in October from 10am to 5pm. Their address is located at 2092 Van Dyk Rd; Everson, WA 98247. You can call them as well at 360-966-3919. They will also be open from November 24 to December 15 for some Christmas celebrations as well. I was totally amazed to find out these guys didn’t have a web site, but the ladies said someone is designing one for them. They really need one, because this place is awesome!
My family and I have been to many harvest time festivals here in the Northwest over the
years, but there’s very few that have as much as this farm has to offer. They have the largest pumpkin patch fields in all of Whatcom County. To get to this huge field you take a hay ride on the back of a long covered wagon with bales of hay on both sides. All the kids that took the ride really enjoyed it and so did all the adults as well. Once the farmer drops you off…you have an entire field of pumpkins to scout around to find that perfect one.
They also have a couple apple orchards in the same area of the pumpkins where one can pick a variety of apples for around 60 cents a pound. After you load up on your apples, just take them and your pumpkin back onto the wagon and the farmer will give you a ride back to the pay station.
But if that’s all you did, you would have missed about 75% of what one could still do at this beautiful farm. Stoney Ridge is a very entertaining place to visit and the kids will just love the atmosphere here. From the little choo choo train ride, to the goats in the sky, to the endless animal exhibits, it’s just great. The place is covered in pumpkins, there’s this huge field of corn made into a maze and the forests of apples.
With the two events that they have here’s what they offer first for “Its Harvest Time At” Stoney Ridge Farm during October:
