For a fun-filled, old-fashioned Christmas, visit Petersen Family Farm, which was established in 1871. The Farm is located at 11800 S. 4000 W. in Riverton.

This family-operated farm grows and sells fresh produce year-round. At Christmastime, the farm turns into a winter wonderland, where you can find the perfect Christmas tree.

Get a gorgeous wreath for your front door. The wreaths are home-grown at Local Roots Flower Farm.

Take a covered wagon ride through the farm. The wagon is pulled by a vintage tractor, and Farmer Luke will tell you a magical story about the farmer who shared his manger with Mary and Joseph.

After your wagon ride, say hello to Old St. Farmer Nick.

The farm is all decorated for the holidays.

Everything here is quaint and charming; you'll love the old-fashioned atmosphere all around the farm.

Do a bit of shopping at the Farm Market, where you'll find carefully curated, locally-made gifts and treats,

You'll find some unique gifts for loved ones, and even some produce grown in the hoop houses year-round.

Say hello to Tigger the barn cat, who loves to be scratched behind his ears.

Warm your hands by the fire, and enjoy this beautiful place!

For more old-fashioned Christmas fun, head to This is the Place Heritage Park.
