Some of the other things to do at this Farm and education center are various tours, picking from the orchards and farm-related fun and activities. In the fall, fun is accompanied by music from area bands, a Halloween playground and a Corn maze. Snipes Farm also offers camp internships. This relatively new farm, established in 2008, teaches sustainable farm practices, but the family is not new to farming. This is the 11th generation to run a farm.
