About this adventure
Located on Whaletail Lake in Minnetrista, Gale Woods Farm is a real working educational farm where families can experience late-autumn farm chores Thanksgiving weekend. Kids can help feed sheep and cattle, meet heritage turkeys, and watch spinning and wool processing demonstrations in the heated barn. The barn and farm pavilion feature accessible paved paths, indoor wash stations, and farm store tastings of pasture-raised produce, artisan cheeses, and warm maple apple cider.
