Notice! This page is not connected with Krochmal Farms!
It is presented "on spec" to them by David Chesler to show them what their web site might look like, and in appreciation for letting his kids enjoy their free petting zoo, and in the hopes that they continue to offer this in the future.
They now (2007) seem to have an official web site.
This site is based on their tri-fold circular. They are aware of this site, and should contact me if they ever want to take it over or direct it.
As of 2005, the petting zoo is no longer free :-(
It costs $1 to get in, plus the usual $1 per wafer cone of feed.
But they have a pay-one-price option now, $10 per person, that includes unlimited admission to the petting "area", unlimited wagon rides, unlimited trips through the corn maze, and one pony ride. (Or maybe vice versa, one wagon ride.) We arrived late, so we didn't take advantage of that, but if we were making a long day of it we would next time.
