Our New Fire Truck

 

Evergreen Farms has just purchased a pumper fire truck for use on the farm during Pumpkin Hunt. The truck is retired from the Sunrise Beach Volunteer Fire Department located on Lake LBJ. It has a 1,200 gallon water tank which is kept full and gives Mike and Beth a peace of mind during these hot windy dry days. Rides will be offered during the Pumpkin Hunt and fire fighting will be demonstrated for those who ride.

 

 

 

 

Trip to Paraguay

 

Mike and Beth just returned from Paraguay where they met their exchange student from 24 years ago. They discovered a local artisan who is  designing specially made raku ornaments with the Evergreen Farms name for the gift shop. These are similar to the previous raku ornaments carried in the shop but their color will be different as the leaves used for drying are local to Paraguay. The same artisan is making pottery caroler sets which will be hand painted by another artist. These will all be available in November at the gift shop at Evergreen Farms.

 

Updates

 

Plans are to enlarge the train track that runs on the porch and through the gift shop. You won't want to miss this fun experience.
