🍇 Fresh Grapes Straight From the Park! 🍇

There’s just something special about picking fresh grapes right off the vine! 💜🌿 Today at Continental Divide Park, we spent a little time harvesting some of the beautiful grapes growing right here on the property.

Between the bison, hiking trails, fresh produce, and now grape picking, there’s always something happening around the park. We love watching everything grow and getting to enjoy a little bit of farm life right here in South Bend.

🍇 Fresh from the vine
🦬 Say hello to the bison
🥾 Explore the trails
🌳 Enjoy the beautiful park

Come out and see what’s growing at Continental Divide Park!

There’s just something special about farm life. 🥚🌾🦬

Today I stopped by Continental Divide Park to gather some fresh farm eggs for SOUTH BEND FARMS and of course I couldn’t leave without making a quick stop to see our bison babies! ❤️

Fresh eggs straight from the farm, beautiful summer weather, and a visit with the newest members of our bison herd… not a bad way to spend the day!

The babies are growing SO fast, and I swear they get cuter every time I see them. 🦬🥰

Just another day at Continental Divide Park! 🌾🥚🦬
