Harvesting Fun….

We were instantly transported back in time to simpler days- when kids played outside in natural surroundings and participated in old fashioned fun.

A Little Background…
Stanley Pond Adventure Farm is a subsidiary of Stanley Pond Farm. A family run business, Stanley Pond Farm cultivates and sells beautiful and affordable Daylilies and Ligustrum trees. Bob and Suzi Denis along with their daughter Tricia Merrill had a dream of incorporating a fun adventure farm in conjunction with the Daylily farm and the combination of the two has resulted in what is called “agri-tourism”. There are Daylily tours, Garden Clubs and Lily growing tours and tutorials along with your own take-home seedling. Their buy 2 get one free special on daylilies can’t be beat either but their most recent beautiful blossom is the opening of the Adventure Farm.
The Adventure Begins!
At Stanley Pond Adventure Farm, young ‘uns can mosey along on a miniature horse ride or zip-zip-zip along in Skippy the Airboat ride. Elli Mae & Her Blue Cow Stampede keeps kids yahooin’ in delight and everyone loves to climb Sand Mountain with Larry the Loader! Any little cowboy or cowgirl is sure to have a whoopin’ good time with Travis the Tractor & Norma the Conestoga Wagon. In just one of many themed parties, your little ranch hand will love the Stick Horse Rodeo where they get one free stick horse to keep and can participate in Cowboy Bob’s freeze dance.
