I’m still here and I had so much fun blogging last year I decided to try it again! Dave is pretty busy with harvesting corn and soybeans, which is why I get to jump in again. I’m busy too, but with different kinds of things. My activities usually involve the entertainment side of Bloomsbury Farm. We are only open to the public in the fall, but the corn maze, pig races, barnyard animals, hayrack rides and other farm activities keep me busy from sun up to sun down. Once the sun goes down we gear up for Scream Acres on Saturday night (we added Thursday and Friday before Halloween to the mix), the area’s only triple threat haunt.

Here are some of the activities I’ve been focused on:

*Making fresh fudge each week (many, many flavors including Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie, Vanilla, Skeleton Scare, Donkey Droppings, Goat Droppings, Pralines & Crème, Rainbow Sherbet, and many more!),

*Making fresh, hand-dipped caramel apples, caramel apples with nuts and caramel apples dipped in chocolate.

*Picking large pumpkins, small pumpkins, mini pumpkins, and gourds.

*Entertaining field trips that visit the farm during the week, and public and corporate outings that visit on the weekends.

*Organizing the “haunters” that come out for Scream Acres.

*Keeping the Sugar Shack & Gift Shop organized and well-stocked with sweets and treats.

*Taking care of the animals – our Holstein calf, Oreo, and Petunia the pig…she’s a big ham!
