Kite Day is a perfect time to explore the farm during our spring festival - Saturday, April 30 & Sunday, May 1 - 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Spring on the farm is one of the most beautiful and exciting seasons. Bring your own kite or choose a ready-made kite from the wide selection in the store. Or better yet, make a “guaranteed to fly” kite.

The farm will ring with country music and entertainment all weekend featuring Tookany Creek on Saturday and Chickens N Such on Sunday. For all those hungry kite fliers, we’ll have lots of good country food. Adults can enjoy a visit to our Wine Orchard where Terhune’s own 18 varieties of wine are available for tasting under the 100 year old apple trees.

There will be plenty of activities to keep the kids occupied. The sheep will be shorn on Sunday and the children can take home a piece of real fleece. Join in the fun of old-fashioned games and children’s activities in the barnyard or take a pony ride out in the field. Admission $12 Online/$15 At Gate (age 3 and up). Winery & Farm Store: for weekend entry, admission tickets must be purchased. Purchase online https://terhuneorchards.ticketspice.com/kite-day-2022
