Wells Fargo Family Farm Celebrates 25 Years

The Wells Fargo Family Farm has been charming guests since it opened in May 2000. It’s well worth a walk to the Farm to see the spring babies grow from small to tall all summer long. Check out a farm animal demonstration, then have a picnic on the porch of the Farm House!
