Nash Farm

I took the boys to a great little farm in Grapevine called Nash Farm. Nash Farm is a historic farm bought by the Nash Family, a part of a migration of farmers who settled in Grapevine in 1859, a couple of years before the Civil War. The farm is 5.2 acres and the original house where the Nash Family settled retains much of its original structure but needs to be completely restored.

The kids had a ball at the farm. They were able to hoe and rake their own dirt next to the actual crops that are being grown there now. The kids pet a cow, horse and even held a chicken. We picked up our own watering cans and watered the vegetables that were being grown in the garden outside of the farm house and the kids were able to learn how crops are grown (and not bought in stores!). We took a tractor ride and then headed to the barn to sit on some old tractors and play with toy tractors and trucks.
