It’s the height of harvest—a time when families either spend long hours apart or squeeze into combines, tractors, or trucks. Quality family time becomes scarce, especially between dads and young children.
But while farmers are busy in the fields or on the road, young kids are still finding ways to be ‘on the farm’—the carpet farm, that is.
For generations, carpet farming has been a favorite pastime of farm kids, a hands-on way to learn the ropes of farming and ranching. From building detailed paddocks and organizing plastic cow herds to running the toy grain cart ‘just right,’ these young farmers closely watch their families and mirror the real-life operations they see.
The best carpet farms are built on freshly vacuumed floors, with milk jugs, empty boxes, and anything else that can stand in for barns, grain bins, or sheds. It’s where imagination meets real-life agriculture!
And if a farm kid ever asks to give you a tour of the carpet farm, the answer is always “yes.”
