Gorman Heritage Farm

Cute farm, has a ton of plants, veggies, and land to see and explore! We had a good time walking around and seeing the farm. I just don't recommend *during the week*. I am sure the weekend has a different experience but there weren't many animals to see besides chickens, no snacks or drinks (from what I saw) and just not a lot to do! We did get to pick sunflowers which was fun.

Wonderful little hidden gem! The land is beautiful and the gardens are immaculate! We started our journey at the welcome center. This is where you pay admission, grab a map, and they even have a cute little store. Admission is very reasonably priced at only $8 and children 3 and under are free. The gentleman who helped us was very helpful on telling us paths to take and showing us the map. They have a huge map in the center and also smaller maps you can take. Our first stop was the children's garden and it's probably one of the pretty gardens I've ever seen! It's very whimsical almost something out of a fairytale. There are beautiful floral archways, areas representing the 5 senses and so much more! You can tell the garden is flourishing by the way wildlife just flocks to it! There were so many butterflies, birds, and bees just enjoying the garden. The bees weren't even bothersome, just really beautiful! The best part was seeing so many hummingbirds flutter through! From there we journeyed about the rest of the farm! We saw chickens, a donkey, mules, mini horses, and a barn cat! There were more animals but we didn't see the entire farm since our littles started to get tired. We enjoyed seeing the Mike's get new shoes and loved how the farmers were so talkative and very interactive with our kiddos; even letting them pet the mules! We also enjoyed how all the animals are named! Overall, we had a blast here and can't wait to go back; especially for the upcoming Sunflower Festival!

We went to Gorman Farm for the Sunflower Festival and it was so much fun! We went with our granddaughter (and her parents). Buying the tix online ahead of time saves you some money, and free parking in nearby lots was available. There were food trucks and craft vendors which made it fun to roam around and look at their wonderful wares. You wander through along the paths and get to look at their beautiful gardens while heading to the sunflower field and maze. There were animals to learn about and pet, and we could cut sunflowers for $1 per stem. We didn't do the maze or wagon ride, but everything that we did do was great! It made for a wonderful Sunday afternoon!!

122 acres of farm land and 5 miles of walking trails. The farms mission is to promote sustainability and educate young ones. Animals on the farm range from miniature horses to donkeys to chickens to goats and sheep. All animals are accessible to pet and sometimes feed. A unique aspect about the farm is that you can rent land to cultivate your own garden on the farm. Great place to take the family for outdoor fun!

Had such a wonderful day exploring the farm with my 8 year old and 3 month old. Gorgeous flower garden to explore, sunflower field, many animals, lots of trails and history. Great way to spend an afternoon and bonus points for getting some exercise pushing the stroller around. We will definitely be back.

I really enjoyed going out to Gorman Heritage Farm the other day. It was perfect for spending a part of a gorgeous day here. There is easy parking when you get here, and make sure you walk into the visitor center and pay the admission price. Admission is $5 for Adults. $3 for Seniors (60+) and $3 for Children (3-17). If you check in on Yelp! you'll get a $1 off your admission price, BTW. When you go to the visitors center you will get a map and someone will tell you about the farm and the different things to do. If you have questions while you're walking around the farm they encourage you to talk to the volunteers that are working all over the farm. They have hiking trails, gardens, and animals. We only checked out the animals and gardens while we were here because of it raining the previous day and the whole mud factor of trails. This farm is gorgeous and I loved walking around it. I was so excited to see all the animals. I'm 27 acting like a 5-year-old, type of excited. They have pigs right now, baby pigs at that. They were the cutest things I have ever seen in my life. They have horses, mini horses, mules, chickens, goats, and sheep. They even had a cat that holds down the barn and puts mice in their place. The cat isn't supposed to be friendly but he was following us around the rest of the time we were there. They have rabbits too but I didn't get to see them because they weren't out. It made me sad. But maybe I'll get to see them someday. All the animals are super friendly and basically, come up to you when they see you. Even though we had a map the most helpful thing was that they had arrows on the ground wrote with chalk on where things were. I don't know if they have that all of the time, but they should. Some things are kind of hidden. If you have kids this is a great place to take them. They even have picnic tables so you can have lunch out there as well. Great place to spend an afternoon.

We went to a fall wedding here and it was just lovely. The couple got married in a field not far from the parking lot, but it felt like we were out in the country. Beautiful field of wild flowers behind them. The reception was held in their outdoor shelter right off the parking lot, with an added tent, it was perfect. There are bathrooms in the shelter as well. This is a great location for a wedding, now we have to come back and explore the actual "farm" part.

Beautiful morning on the farm with my 5 year old grandson.We met all the animals, knew them by name.Animal and barn caretakers friendly and generous with information.

I found this place because of Facebook and I have been wanting to go to a Sunflower Field since I was little girl so when this popped up and I was only going to be 8 mins away from Gormans I asked my sister to come with my two nieces. Well the website keeps giving me an error and telling me I have to see someone at Gormans. The young man at the front desk was so nice and he couldn't figure out what was going on and said they was having issues with it because of the over load so because of this issue I had to pay more to go in than what I would have if their website wasn't having issues. I thought okay this isn't a bad price but wants getting inside I can now say it actually is way over priced for what is included. A few animals, a mule ride (THE LADIES IN CHARGE OF DRIVING AND STANDING BY THE MULES HAD HORRIBLE ATTITUDES) it also was a 2 min ride through a neighborhood not nothing to do with the farm itself which we had to stand in line for a couple minutes which was fine but if I would have waited in line more than 10 minutes to take this mule ride I would have been more upset than I already was if you go please understand you see absolutely nothing but a bunch of houses, then after the mule we went for hayride or so I call it a drop off and pick up tractor. We had to wait about 20 minutes so here we think o man it's going to be better than the Mule ride well the two men up at the top of the hill to get on the tractor ride was Phenomenal I know Bob was one of their names and the other man was from India. We had a little one who was upset she didn't get on first and we had to wait so Bob decided to do the Chicken Dance with her and he just all around was so friendly. Well anyways on to this hayride we got on and here I'm thinking we are about to see some more animals, other things at the farm and nope the hay ride is actually just to pick you up from the bottom of the hill to the top or top to the bottom. You again don't see anything but the sunflowers and the man driving the tractor I would have thought he would have said welcome to Gormans but nope not one word and the lady helping get others off at the bottom of the hill also had a horrible attitude. So here we are done the 2 second Mule ride, the pickup and drop off ride and seeing the Very small amount of animals. We go to the sunflower field to see which ones we want to pick it was a $1 for 1 which I feel everyone who pays $15 to get into this place should be able to cut one flower for free and then after that one then charge a $1 a stem. The field had so many pretty sunflowers but so many that looked like they was dying so am I happy I got to see my first sunflower field absolutely but really upset I went with this place. The food trucks the prices were insane $14 for two small piecesof fish and a small fries from hooks (man and female working Hooks food truck thank you for being so nice) , $16 for a pull pork sandwich, overly priced roasted nuts but man working was very nice and knowledgeable, and the line for the mini donuts was crazy long because there was only one man working it and he wasn't friendly and hate that I even gave him money because how nasty he was. He shouldn't have been running that food truck only and if you can't pick donuts that you want put up a sign saying that. So overall 90% of the workers (including the police officers) which mostly was an older staff aren't friendly and seemed to not want to be there. The advertising that this is a family fun farm with lots to do is not at all true. This farm is a Money grabber and I don't recommend it for anyone looking for a family fun day. Gormans your farm has a lot of potential but first you need to get workers that actually want to work with the public because again the staff besides a few didn't want to be there. The young man at the front taking money to get in, the lady in the restroom building, Bob and the man from India, the employees at Hooks and The roasted nuts thank you all for your kindness. If you need a farm where it truly is a family farm go to Blooms and Berries or Shaw farm.

A beautiful historic working farm in the middle of the city. Kids can play and learn, grown ups can stroll around the farm, learn, buy produce and flowers. There are camps for kids in the summer, reasonably priced memberships, sun flower festival in the fall, and more I'm probably forgetting. A very nice getaway in the middle of the city.
