Looking for something fun and different to do with the whole family this weekend? We have an idea that fits the bill.

Think outside the box this upcoming Saturday and Sunday, and have an adventure. There are lots of animals that are waiting to meet you and the kids.

Heartstone Farm- located at 128 Paine Road, in Charleston is having an Open Farm Day, this Sunday, from 10 am-3 pm.

They will be serving up free grass-fed burgers, that have more than 200 5-Star reviews. There will also be free lemonade, free iced tea, and free chips for young and old alike.

And the kids will love this, you can meet the cows! You can take tours of the farm in a covered wagon, with fun activities, and they will show you how their cows turn grass into steaks.

They will also feature special Farm Day prices on their burgers & steaks for you to take home and fire up on the grill.

Join them for some cute goat snuggling, chicken feeding, sheep watching, and more. They have lots of animals for the kids to meet. Admission is free for everyone.

There will also be a BBQ at lunchtime featuring burgers, hotdogs, and their own delicious farm-raised sausages! While you are there, you can also purchase chicks, eggs, goat's milk soap, kids' farm fun boxes, which are packed full of toys and treats, whole chicken and pork, and a table of baked goods.
