MOUNT PLEASANT, TEXAS (RFD News) — Agritourism is giving visitors a chance to experience life on the farm, and one family is doing that through fields of tulips.
Jerry and Deanna Moody, owners of Moody Blooms, grow more than 20 varieties of tulips and have opened their farm to the public as a seasonal destination. The couple says they saw an opportunity to share their operation and create a positive experience for visitors.
“What keeps me going is the interaction with people,” Deanna Moody said. “Being able to provide something that puts a smile on people’s faces is the part that keeps us coming back.”
In addition to the flowers, the Moodys say they enjoy giving visiting children a chance to connect with agriculture in a hands-on way and interact with farm animals.
“We’ll let them feed the cow some grass,” Jerry Moody said. “It gives them a connection to that animal and to the farm. It would be great if we could have some of those young kids get interested in some form of agriculture.”
Moody Blooms is the only tulip farm in the Mount Pleasant area and continues to draw visitors seeking a closer connection to agriculture.
