The crisp fall air signals it is time for a little Farm Family Fun at French Prairie Gardens and Family Farm's Fall Harvest Festival!

During this 5 week event, people travel from all over to enjoy a day out in the country and have the opportunity to enjoy one of the main attractions - Pigtucky Derby!  Hosted by Farmer John and Farmer Eric, they'll have you kicking back and laughing and as their dough-nut trained pigs race around the track.

Here is the start of the Pigtucky Derby at French Prairie Gardens in St. Paul, Oregon
