We’re open this Saturday, and our most-loved activity of exploring the pond with nets is available for the day! Come discover the amazing aquatic life hiding beneath the surface! Scoop through the water and see what you can find, from tadpoles, crayfish, and dragonfly nymphs to other tiny creatures that call the pond home.

Pond nets will be available for use Saturday from 8:30am until 3:30pm. The $5 per vehicle Day Use Fee must be paid prior to using nets at the pond. Only nets and observation containers provided by Up Yonda Farm are to be used. No nets or other fishing equipment can be brought for use. All aquatic life must be returned to the pond after observation.

It’s hands-on, exciting, and fun for kids (and adults!) of all ages. Come spend the day exploring nature with us! Plan your visit at https://upyondafarm.com/

Our honeybees have officially moved into their observation hive, and they’re already hard at work! Our observation hive in the museum provides a safe, up-close look at the fascinating world inside a beehive. You can watch as worker bees build honeycomb, care for their queen, and keep the whole colony thriving.

Next time you visit, be sure to stop by the museum and see the hive in action. You might just develop a whole new appreciation for these incredible insects!
