FREE ACTIVITIES

AVAILABLE DURING OPEN HOURS​.

Enjoy our Story Stroll and Farm Scavenger Hunt, two self-led adventures perfect for families looking to explore at their own pace. Stop by the Farm Stand when you arrive, and we’ll get you all set up for a fun and easy day on the farm.

FLOWER PICKING

AVAILABLE SEASONALLY (~JUNE - OCT), DURING OPEN HOURS​. CHECK OUR INSTAGRAM FOR UPDATES!

Swing by the farm to pick your own flowers! Offerings change based on the season. Flowers grown at AOOA are organic and pesticide-free.

 

How it works: Grab scissors and a bucket or vase from the u-pick station and collect your flowers from one of our three flower gardens. When you're done, you can either build your bouquet yourself or have us arrange it for you!

There is a $1 donation for each stem, and if you want a jar or vase, we have those for sale, too!
