This Chicken Farm In Iowa Is Also A Restaurant And It’s Fun For The Whole Family

Iowa is dotted with farms, and many are open to the public. However, few have as much making them worth a day trip as Uncle Bill's Farm in Grinnell. A working chicken farm for most of the year, it's open to the public for those who want to get up close and personal with some adorable animals. It has special events all through the year, and even some of the area's best eats.

Uncle Bill's Farm is known for its large farmers' market and seasonal pumpkin patch sales.

But tourists are more likely to be interested in its farm tours - complete with a host of fun seasonal attractions for the whole family.

Uncle Bill's is one of the best chicken farms in the state, selling a wide selection of breeds.

When the chicks are hatching, the cheeping little puffballs are among the cutest sights in the Hawkeye State.

They're not the only residents of the farm - the playful, rambunctious goats are always a favorite.

Of course, the farm's most famous resident is definitely Rolly, the ever-vigilant farm cat.

During the fall, this chicken farm not only features pumpkins, but seasonal attractions like corn mazes.

If you've worked up an appetite after your tour, head to Uncle Bill's Feed Bag, the attached cafeteria with a wide menu.

Everyone says the must-try item is the BBQ pork sandwich, slow-cooked in a rich and smoky sauce.

And make sure not to leave without a visit to the bakery to pick up some of Uncle Bill's famous apple cider doughnuts!
