Lots of children know the song “Old McDonald Had a Farm” but have you or your child ever experienced the fun of a working farm? Here in Pierce County, Wilcox Farm is a great place for children of all ages to see first hand the daily running of a state of the art chicken egg farm. At Wilcox Farm you can see free range chickens and watch the egg collecting, washing and packaging processes from start to finish. The farm also has historic buildings and equipment in a museum and don’t miss the petting zoo. Before you leave, stop by the in-house store and get your ‘day on the farm’ fresh eggs!
In addition to eggs, the farm also has a nature trail that is open year round and free to visitors. The Trail is well-kept and highlighted with fun and educational kiosks. You might even see wild salmon spawning [three times a year].
Be sure to include Wilcox Farm on your list of FUN things to do this summer!
