Old Windmill Farm is a working Amish family farm in Ronks, PA, that opens for hands-on tours where visitors milk a cow, bottle-feed calves, gather eggs and take a hayride.

The 60-minute Amish Farm Tour and 90-minute Farm Fun Combo put kids in the barn with goats, sheep, pigs, calves and chicks, and the combo adds planting and harvesting in the garden with vegetables to take home. Seasonal farmhouse experiences add cider pressing in fall and holiday baking with a horse-drawn sleigh ride in November and December. Tours run rain or shine, much of it under cover in the barns.

Before you go

Book online, the only way the farm takes reservations, and wear closed-toe shoes that can get dusty. Tours run rain or shine. Follow the Old Windmill Farm signs down the shared farm lane to the marked parking. Dogs are not allowed.

Coming up

The Amish Christmas Farmhouse Experience, with holiday baking in the farm kitchen and a horse-drawn sleigh ride, runs in November and December ($90 adult, $78 ages 5 to 12). The farm is closed Saturday, October 10.
