As part of our response to covid-19, Prairie Gardens’ Family Farm Picnic allows you to enjoy your own private area of the farm as a family – relax in the countryside and enjoy our wide-open spaces! We book a maximum of 15 picnics during each 2-hour designated picnic time to make sure your family has the privacy and space to enjoy yourselves on the farm this summer. Our Fall Family Farm Picnic is designed with lunch for two in mind, but we welcome up to 14 guests per reservation – just add any additional children or adults who would like to attend! No need to buy a ticket for children 4 years old or younger – there is more than enough food for them to snack on.
