Christmas at the Farm 2024
Christmas at the Farm will be back this year! Thank you to Boynton United Methodist Church for their continued support of this beloved yearly tradition. After a break last year, we are excited to bring this special event back better than ever! We will have all the old favorites with some fun new additions this time. We have heard your feedback and plan on having more food options & more activities available. This event will remain having FREE admission as a gift to the community from Willow Tree Farms and Boynton United Methodist Church, but we will have food for sale from the food trucks this year to help us a little with inflation costs. We still want to make sure no child goes hungry, so all children under 18 years old will be able to eat for free at the food trucks on us.
You can expect:
Pictures with Santa & Mrs. Clause in the barn
Petting Zoo from Little Country Farm & Petting Zoo
Christmas Lights
Cookies and Crafts
Live Nativity Scene from BUMC
Live Gospel Music from BUMC
Food Trucks and Giant Yard Games will be a new addition this year! You can expect JT’s Burger Box and more food trucks to be announced soon.

Paws & Pumpkins 2024 〰️
Our annual family fun day and fundraiser for North Georgia Animal Alliance will be back again in 2024! Join us for some FREE family fun this Halloween season. Physical donations made and a percentage of food or vendor goods purchased will be given directly to NGAA to help them support animals in need in our community. We just ask you to bring some kind of cat food, cat litter, treats, or bedding to help this incredible non-profit work their magic as your admission if you’d like to help! In years past we’ve filled an entire truck bed with these tangible donations, every little bit helps! NGAA has requested cat-related products above all else if possible.

FAQ
Don't forget your sunscreen & towels! Outside water bottles are also allowed to help with the heat. We will have multiple shaded areas with fans in tents, the pavilion, gazebos, and our barn, but the primary water slides, games, and inflatables are all outdoor.
No swimming or fishing in the ponds is permitted at this event.
Wagons & Stollers welcome. Just keep in mind the farm is mainly gravel.
All activities listed above will be FREE to utilize EXCEPT for food, drink, face paint, children’s boutique clothing, and balloon animals. All these purchases will have 10% donated to Lionhearts Fitness Camps at the end of the event. This is our primary way of collecting donations for the non-profit this event is for without putting much pressure on our community. Cash donations will also be accepted at Lionheart’s main table inside our pavilion if you can give more.
We look forward to having a fun day in the sun this weekend. Let's make this a summer bash to remember!!
