Created by Jim Bird in 1993, Bird’s Farm is simply a large field that features a variety of whimsical sculptures made from bales of hay, scrap metal, and several other types of junk.

Bird’s Farm began by accident. While Jim’s wife was out of town, he created a special sculpture for her. Since then, additional sculptures have been added, including a couple of Snoopy pieces.

Jim’s goal was to create each sculpture for under $5. Other than the Tin Man, which cost him $40 in paint alone, Jim met his goal.
