This farm, also known locally for its public sunflower fields, added a holiday display in 2021 that has grown to roughly 100,000 lights, 22 inflatables, and 50 lighted figures. Visitors drive into the large yard and past the house before looping back, with donations requested for a local Gardner child battling cancer.
