Join us for our Tulip Dig Days... Purchase your admission tickets, and then it's just $5 per bag to dig your very own tulip bulbs. Bring a small shovel and get ready to plant a piece of Kelder's Farm in your own garden for a vibrant spring display next year.

Benefits of Planting Bulbs

Kelder's Farm offered "pick your own" options during the Tulip Festival, but while beautiful, the picked flowers only last for several days before wilting. By digging up the actual bulb, the flower will grow each year, supplying a brand new bloom each year.
