Barnyard Discoveries www.BarnyardDiscoveries.com We are designed to bring the farm experience to YOU. It truly is a field trip in your parking lot.

Our goal is to share "a day at the farm" with our visitors without having to leave their school or residence. Our farm has a Princeville, IL address but that is a litile misleading since we are only 6 miles from Peoria and over 12 miles from Princeville. We are actually located just 3 miles north of Interstate 74 exit #82 at Kickapoo. Our travel fee is figured one way from this location. This cent

ral location allows us to effectively serve an area in an approximate 85 mile radius of Peoria. We would be happy to discuss your plans and quote a price to meet your specific needs. Please inquire via e-mail or phone 309-696-8055.

I am thankful I have shavings scattered all over my house it means we have livestock in the barn.
I am thankful for the walks to the barn it means they have a place to learn and grow.
I am thankful I have to yell multiple times for them to come inside it means they want to finish their chores.
I am thankful we have manure to scoop it means we have livestock to take care of.
I am thankful supper never goes as planned it means they prioritize tending to livestock ahead of their own needs.
I am thankful I have a feed bill to pay it means conception rates were good.
I am thankful for the multiple runs to the store for soap, wire or whatever random things they may need it means the barn is in full function.
I am thankful I have to pay a vet to make a health paper it means we get to go to a show.
I am thankful for the thousands of miles we put on a truck on the way to shows it provides us time for meaningful conversations that we may have never had.
I am thankful we are exhausted because it means we are able to work hard and pursue our passion.
I am thankful for the chaos that is our life it means we are busy doing what we love, together, as a family...in the barn.

Thank you Veterans!
