Erickson's Petting Zoo begins a new blog as we enter the Fall 2014 season...
Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be Saturday, April 4th from 10-2. We put out plastic eggs through the day so you can come when ever you would like. Egg baskets are furnished, search around the yard or our hay shed. Then take the basket to the party shed and open the eggs to see what you have won. Besides the egg hunt, many animals waiting to be fed and petted. Remember to use the hand sanitiser that is available for your use.
A cold winter day, great day to plan and order the seeds for spring planting. We strive for a nice variety of sizes of pumpkins, squash and gourds for our Fall Family Fun Weekends. For either already picked and in the yard, or to go out into our pick your own patches. This year we want to expand even on more varieties. Three months until planting and seven months until the opening our Pumpkin Patch (Saturday, September 26th).
2015 is the beginning of the 11th year of having our farm opened to the public (agritourism) to see all the animals and birds. We open April 4th for our annual Easter Egg Hunt, then open weekends (weather permitting) until May. From Memorial Weekend until Halloween, we are open daily.
Also, happy to partner with Stephen Henning of Advance Marketing Services to develop this new website to promote our business. Be sure to take a tour of the website and get a hold of Stephen to see what he can do for you.
Even with this mild and very little snow this Winter, still looking forward to Spring! Warm and sunny days, green grass, flowers growing and the birth of many animals here on the farm. Will have baby goat kids, lambs and bunnies when we have our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4, 2015 from 10:00-2:00.
Still is time to call or email to book your school School field trip for during the day. Other groups can book for evenings or other times. Group rate is $6.00 per student. Each student gets a free pumpkin. If it won't work for this year, make plans for next fall.
Any time of the year is a good time to visit Erickson's [Petting Zoo. But their is something special about the Fall Season!

What we want families who come to our petting zoo to leave with is: Experience & Memories! The experience to be on a real farm. Experience to see many different farm animals and birds in their natural setting. During the Fall Season can see how all the pumpkins, squash and gourds actually grow. Get the experience of searching for the just right pumpkin from our pick your own pumpkin patch. All of these different experiences lead to memories. We call it- "Making Memories" at Erickson's Petting Zoo.
Making Memories in the pumpkin patch at Erickson's Petting Zoo of Osakis, MN. Searching for the "just right" pumpkin in the field. So much better than picking on off a shelf or out of a big box in a store. Thanks for all the nice compliments on the size of our pumpkins. Open every weekend until Halloween to get your pumpkins, squash , gourds, straw bales and corn shocks for decorating.
