| - Let's keep things in perspective. Shall we? If you are coming from the midwest or the East coast like me, you know what a farm typically looks like. With a certain expectation and a priori knowledge, you may have a definitive picture of what you consider "a farm." But this place, "The Farm," it is a place located in an arid desert. One cannot expect it to closely resemble a typical farm in other more fertile places.
So keeping that in mind, this place is a lot bigger than it looks. The man at the cash register told me it's a 5-acre farm but most of it is hidden away from public view. If you are just coming here to buy produce, there is no fee. Otherwise, it'll cost you $2 to enter. They have various animals, both in cages and in free roam and these animals were rescued and adopted. Hence, like me, if you see a strange looking quail pacing back and forth in its cage, don't attempt to set it free (like what I tried to do last Saturday). There may be something wrong with it so it needs to be caged.
They sell fresh eggs, local honey and various produce items. I thought the eggs and honey were really expensive so I didn't buy any. Instead, I bought two pounds of purple potatoes. The older gentleman at the cash register gave it to me for only $1.00! I don't know why but thank you, good sir. You are very kind.
If you're visiting Gilcrease orchard for some leafy veggies, don't forget to stop by the farm for things like potatoes and honey!
