    I'm a local.. Last year I had old friends and their friends visit... two dairy farming families from NY and Connecticut.. They had so much fun looking in every nook and corner of the farm...Between them they have over 100 years of farming. They were impressed with Island Farm...Fun and education for young and old.

    The Island Farm is a great way to spend an afternoon learning about the history of Roanoke Island and what life was like in the colonial days there. The staff is in character and very knowledgable about the craft they may be performing but also about the roles that played in the day-to-day life of those from years ago. The animals and yard games are great for kids to see, feed, and play with. My family and I have been several times now, and while the experience is mostly the same from year to year, it is still just as enjoyable as the first time we visited.
