Season Pass

$30 per person (plus tax), children under 2 free

A season pass is good for your general admission from our opening in May until the end of October.  You can visit the farm as often as you like during regular “open to the public hours”.  (These passes are non transferable and non refundable and they do NOT cover any additional costs associated with special events, classes, seminars or parties.)

But Season Passes are more than unlimited farm visits!  Season Pass members are part of our farm family.  The money raised through passes are vital to our operation of the farm and are a core part of our support system!

In May we hosted the 2016 Junior Class Prom.  It was our first “fancy” event and I can honestly admit that we were all a little nervous.  What could go wrong….right????

        

                      

Turns out goats are pretty awesome no matter how you are dressed!

     

A beautiful dinner catered by a local restaurant!

      

Nothing like a barn dance.

In June of the same year, we hosted our first wedding.

     

     

    

    

     

  

It was such an honor to be able to give this bride the wedding of her dreams!

How to get here….

(directions for the directionally impaired)

Directions are not really my thing but here we go!  (In my defense, all mileages are approximate…if you have real numbers let me know!)

From the South – Duluth, Eveleth, Virginia, etc

Take Hwy 53 north (Cook is approx 27 miles north of Virginia).  When in Cook, take a right on 2nd Street (across from Zup’s grocery store).  Follow 2nd Street approx 1 mile (it becomes Vermilion Drive without you having to do a thing!)  We are the 4th   driveway on the left once you pass the county highway 115 intersection.

From the North – International Falls, Orr, etc

Take Hwy 53 south (Cook is approx 18 miles south of Orr).  Take a left off of highway 53 onto county highway 115 (aka Ashawa Road) approx 1.5 miles.  At the stop sign, hang a left onto hwy 24 (aka Vermilion Drive).  We are the 4th driveway on the left.

From the East – Ely, Tower, etc.

Take 169 south (approx 5 miles from Tower), turn right onto county highway 115 (aka 77)(as if you were going to Fortune Bay Resort / Casino).  Follow 115 (again…aka hwy 77) approx 20 miles.  Take a right at the stop sign onto highway 24 (aka Vermilion Drive).  We are the 4th driveway on the left.

Tah – Dah!!!  You are here!
