The Roloff Farm is Amazing

Last week was Fall Break and we went on a trip to Portland, Oregon for a few days.  We spent time in the downtown, visiting Pumpkin Patches/local farms, antique stores, Saturday Market and eating at the local restaurants.  The best part of the trip was our visit to the Roloff Farm.  Not only was it exciting to meet the family from the TLC show Little People Big World but the pumpkin farm was fabulous.  It is the BEST one that I have ever been to.  

This is how our day went:

As soon as we parked and walked up to the entrance we were greeted by Matt.  He was talking to everyone and taking pictures with anyone that wanted one (95% of the people were taking advantage).  

 We bought tickets for the wagon farm tours, as we walked out of the door we saw Jacob.  Just like on the show he is much quieter than his dad but happy to talk to visitors and take pictures.

Then we checked out the pumpkins.  There was one area where you could pick your pumpkin off the vine or another area where you could just "pick" your pumpkin up from the grass field.

We also made our way to the petting zoo

and saw the dog, Rocky, wandering all over the farm.

 We went on the wagon tour.  The tour was awesome (our driver was Mueller, a family friend and he is often on the show)!  We saw everything that you could imagine or that you have seen on the show.  Here are some pictures from both tours.  

 The house and some of the vehicles...

 Men's Crisis Center...

 Amy's gazebo and the fire pit area...

 Swamp fort...

 Western town...

 On the 2nd wagon tour we got to get off of the wagon and explore the Western Town and visit with the Roloff Grandparents...

Matt's newest project, the Ark and the animals...

 Little Ms M decided she wanted to participate in the pony rides.

She went around and around on a pony named Chief when suddenly Matt appeared on his Ranger and took a picture of her with his phone.  He said something like this, "I hope you don't mind that I took her picture, she just looks so cute."

 We went back to the area with the pumpkins and picked small ones they had to fit in our luggage to take home. 

We also took a lot of photos in the TALL chair...

We were just getting ready to leave and Amy came out of the house.  Just like Matt she talked to everyone and was available for photos.  Amy talked and danced with Ms M.  

 Overall I give the Roloff Farm, the wonderful family and friendly staff an A+.  We had a great time and I don't think the experience could have gotten any better.

If you are going to be near Portland in October you should make the the Roloff Farm a destination on your places to visit.  You won't be disappointed.
