Geocache Description:


This cache is located within Wolcott Mill Metropark. A Metroparks permit is required: $7 daily pass, $30 annual pass, $20 seniors. All park rules and regulations apply. Park in parking lots only.

Get a glimpse of rural life at Wolcott Mill Metropark Farm Center. Visit the 250 acre working farm and see live animals including cows, chickens, goats, pigs, sheep, ducks and horses. Wolcott Mill’s Farm is the only public farm where you can see all six heritage dairy breeds of cows. Kids delight at learning where our food comes from as they look at displays and meet the animals throughout the farm. The interpretive staff conducts programs on a wide variety of subjects such as milk, lamb and wood production, soil and water conservation, sustainable agriculture, food processing and modern farming techniques. The farm is open 9 am to 5 pm daily, and the cows are milked at 10 am each day.

The above coordinates are to the parking lot of the farm. Take your time touring the barns and farmhouse. When you get to the chicken coop, you will see many informational boards regarding honey; hence the name of our cache. Locate answers to the questions listed below and plug each answer to its corresponding letter for the Cache Coordinates.

***Do not approach the bee boxes!***
