Eagle Fork Farms, Moscow Mills





Location: 65 Eagle Fork Ln., Moscow Mills, MO 63362

Website: http://www.eagleforkfarms.com/

From the website, "Eagle Fork has been providing memories for families in the area since 1989 when Laura and Charlie Meyer began raising and selling pumpkins on the roadside in their driveway. Laura, with a degree in early childhood education and later a Parents as Teachers Educator wanted to provide an educational experience for children. This led to inviting schools for Hayrides and Field Trips in the Fall. Later they opened a small gift shop specializing in Fall decor. Eagle Fork has grown every year since those early days and now hosts thousands of persons during the fall season."

There is no admission fee and here is everything they offer:
  • Gemstone mining $5 - $25 (Depending on your Choice of Rough)

Weekday activities include kid's play areas (slide, sand pit, building block box, and petting zoo), gemstone mining, corn maze (kiddie maze inside too), pumpkins, gift shop, and market. Soda and Water are available also. 

NO Food Stand, Face Painting, Pedal Cars, Apple Cannons, or Pony rides during the week. We sometimes run the Hayride during the week for field trips.












This is the mining area. Water runs from a wooden water tower through a series of troughs called a sluice. Pour bags of mining "rough" into a screen tray and lower your tray into the trough of water. While you sift and shake the tray, watch as the water washes away the dirt and slowly reveals your treasure. And there's a good assortment of treasures in every bag of mining rough! Choose from Gem and mineral bags, Fossil bags, and Arrowhead bags. After discovering your gems and minerals, use the identification charts to accurately identify exactly what you have found!!
