"I love seeing all the animals, goats, chickens, ducks, horses and every now and again you'll see a cow. They have a cute gated play area for the kids. Don't forget to stop and grab fresh from the farm ice cream. Keep an eye out for when they plan something special for the home family to enjoy. When I was in the 3rd grade, we would go to Norview Farms for the end of the school year ice cream. It was fun back then but it's even more fun now."
