(VLA) Riley’s Farms

October 11 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Release Date: August 28 at 12 pm

This event is for VLA students and their families. All students must be accompanied by an adult. Recommended for VLA grades TK-8th. 

Join your fellow VLA classmates for a day at Riley’s Farms and enjoy the Old Joe Homestead Tour!

In 1877, Joe E. Wilshire (“Old Joe”) purchased hundreds of acres of Oak Glen farmland, that remains farmland to this day!  In this tour, we explore the crafts and skills of a homestead farm family. Spend a few hours learning the simple home arts of 19th century farm life.

Included in our tour: 

  • Hay Ride: Hop onto a hay-filled trailer towed by one of our antique tractors for a fun filled ride around the farm. Learn about Joe Wilshire, Oak Glen, and the Riley Family history.

  • Candle Dipping: Make your own taper-candle to take home with you, learn about the types of waxes used, and be entertained by lore from a time before light-switches.

  • Farming: “He who does not work will not eat.” That is especially true when talking of farming, so let’s get plowing!

  • Cabin Life: Homestead chores were equal parts tough and rewarding, help at the cabin by beating the rugs, running out the laundry line, and sundry other duties.

  • Animals: Head on over to the animal pens for a bit of feeding and herding. Animals are very important on a farm, and need lots of special attention. 

  • Cider Pressing: Cider was often the beverage of choice, and after pressing some yourself, you’ll see why. When the apples are in season, gather a few bushels and grind them down. (Cider Pressing is included only in September and October) 

  • Games:Take a break when the chores are done and play some fun games like Climbing Bear and Hoop and Stick.

  • Siblings ages 2 & under are free.

  • An adult ticket must be purchased to accompany attending students (at least one adult per family)

  • A free VLA student ticket must be reserved for any VLA student who would like to attend
