Thank you!  We look forward to coming again.  This is the best place we have found to take our kids to each year.  Your field trips are so organized and we always feel safe.  Thank you for your help.  We can’t wait to see you.                 - Jenny Affentranger – Bethel Elementary

Our field trip was a wonderful trip!  We drove two hours to get there and it was well worth it!

Our 2nd grade class had a wonderful experience here at the Orr Family Farm.  There were many activities for the students and an educational lesson on honey bees.  This is something I will definately recommend to other classes and we will certainly return in future years.

I am always amazed at how clean the farm facilities are!

The staff was ready for us and very good in their explanations.  It was the perfect field trip for our large groups.

Thank you for making Ashton’s Fourth Birthday so great. We had a really good time. It was nice to be able to experience and enjoy the day with her and not have to worry about taking care of everything and everyone. Brittany was awesome! She was so sweet to Ashton.

Thanks Again,

The Gravett Family

P.S.

Brittany-

Ashton loved the card. She still shows it to everyone and tells them it is from her friend “Brittany.”

Thanks

Even on a cold and cloudy spring evening, Crossings Christian School enjoyed a great night at the farm.  At similar venues there are usually two or three highlight activities, but at Orr Family Farm every activity deserves prime billing.  While the carousel, pony rides and train rides are a few of the original features, the farm just keeps getting better.  From the new jumping pillows to the human maze, the pedal cars, the animal petting barn, featuring Jethro P. Hogg, the mechanical singing pig, and my son’s favorite, the mining station, the farm ensures fun for the whole family.  We even go to see a father and son team catch a 3- foot long catfish in the fishing pond.  Simply put it was a great night!

From a mommies perspective, I liked that the farm was clean, safe and spacious.   There were lots of hand washing stations and the bathrooms were spotless.  There were friendly and helpful attendants at each area to maintain the safety of the guests.  The food items available were yummy, and I highly  recommend trying the fudge that can be purchased in the  gift shop.

Any place that brings families together is a good place.  But a place that is fun for everyone, encourages exploration and promotes learning is few and far between. Orr Family   Farm is one of these places.  I can’t wait to return.

Thank you especially to Dr. Orr for his graciousness and professionalism.  He is a pleasure to work with when planning and event.  Dr. Orr’s attention to detail and flexibility make it easy to plan an event for a group.

Crossings Christian School looks forward to returning to the farm soon.

With Kind Regards,

Keri Shields,

PTF President, Crossings Christian School

The Orr Farm was one of the best locations for the company picnic in my   24 years at Sonic.  I used to be on the committee and I couldn’t even top the Orr Farm.  Thank you for a wonderful time.       - Rene Rhoades

This was a great picnic and location.  I’d rank it as the best I’ve been to in many, many years!  It was clean, something for everyone and closed to the public.  – Launa Gober

Everything was wonderful, the food, games and location.  I am really looking forward to next year.  Tell your team GREAT JOB!!!  – Cris Miller

In 11 years, my family enjoyed this year’s picnic better than any other from previous years- the kids LOVED it.    – Mark Davis

The students and staff at Deer Creek Elementary have always enjoyed the opportunity to visit the Orr Family Farm.  For some of our students, it is their first visit to a farm.  It came as a wonderful surprise that one of our students, Kyndall Graham, won 2nd place in your contest.  We thank you very much for donating $250 to DCES in Kyndall’s name. 

We are very appreciative of your support of our school.

Very truly yours,

Bettina Kates

Principal

Dear Ms. Kates,

I can see why you are a Blue Ribbon School!  You may remember that I commented to your children that the assembly opening exercises were the best I had attended in five years of presenting these to schools on behalf of the winners of our Pumpkin Decorating Contests.

Also, yours was thefirst letter of thanks we have received in those five years!  Thank you for taking the time to do so and please come see us.  We are adding more new things for the children’s education and enjoyment.

Kindest regards,

Glenn R. Orr, DVM

Founder

Thank you for such a memorable time. We will be abck to vist you soon!

 "I was wowed by the train ride and the entire amusement park was incredible. A party at Orr Family Farm is way better than Chuck E Cheeses, better than any party we have had. I have told everyone about the place. I was totally impressed with the security in the park. it made everything seem more relaxed… keep up the good work! PS. Zackery went home and made his "monster truck into a train and built a train track with his toys… he was totally impressed with Dr. Orr and the train ride! Thanks Again!" —D. Perez
