8th Magnolia Market Bus Trip | April 10 - 14, 2024 9th (and final) Magnolia Market Bus Trip | September 11 - 15, 2024 Tour de Villes | October 24 - 29, 2024 Firefly Farm is a retail store located in Pine Island, Minnesota. It celebrated its 6th anniversary in June 2023. Firefly Farm carries a vast selection of paper-crafting products, crafts/DIY projects, seasonal decor, kitchen items, and unique gifts. In September 2017, Trisha, the owner of Firefly Farm, hosted her first bus tour to Waco, Texas, to visit Magnolia Market. This popular trip has evolved from the first to the third time she hosted it. This fun 5-day and 4-night trip has been hosted seven times, and Trisha looks forward to hosting it again in April 2024. Due to popular demand, she will also host it in the fall of 2024 (September 11-15), but this will likely be the last time as she has other destinations in mind. Guests who have joined a bus tour with Firefly Farm love getting on the bus, grabbing their itinerary, and enjoying the journey. All the planning has been done for them! Many guests have asked for a new destination, and we were thrilled to host our first 'Tour de Villes' in October 2023. We are offering this trip again in October of 2024 and details can be found in the next section. All bus tours begin at Firefly Farm - 51525 210th Avenue | Pine Island MN Firefly Farm is conveniently located off of (and visible from) Highway 52, approximately 10 minutes north of Rochester and 60 minutes south of the Twin Cities. |
