The farm was lovely but it was rather restricted, in that most of the farm was only accessible to children who had signed up for farm classes previously. The areas that were open to everyone were the general store, which was pretty sizable and stocked well, the petting zoo, which was really cute, with baby goats and a rabbit (although it was rather difficult for the children to reach the rabbit), and the house and pony round pen. There were a few cats loose on sight, which were cute to pet as well. However, the parking lot is on the farm's play area, which is convenient, but dangerous as the kids couldn't run freely without concerns of a car nearby, and they had about 3 semi trucks coming in and out of the play/public area, bringing in or moving out shipments, so we had to grab our children a few times in hopes of them not getting hit. They didn't let our kids play in the open field next to the barn because "it's for the kids in the class", even though the children of the class were having their lunch. They also mentioned that they would have their pigs and sheep next month (we visited in April). So overall, it was nice to visit, but I probably won't go back again as there was a little too many restrictions on space, and I was worried about letting my kids run around freely.
We had our son’s 3rd birthday party here. We booked the goats play and wagon ride event. Sandy did great job in driving the activities and keeping the kids involved. I definitely recommend for anyone looking to have on farm birthday celebrations.
Absolutely such a sweet little place! So grateful that this farm allows children to come see the animals free of charge. Baby goats, a rabbit, horses, and regular size goats were available. A few kitties were hanging around too. We had such a nice afternoon.
We grabbed a few items in the general store — goat yogurt, strawberry milk, cream soda, and eggs. Would have been nice to see some more organic produce options.
All staff we encountered were super super nice. Feeling grateful that this place is nearby.
I had a wonderful birthday party for my daughter (4) at the Chip-in Farm!
The outdoor space is welcoming and well equipped with 4 big tables and benches. The kids are free to play around, also in the sand box, and see animals.
We surely were very lucky (late October) with the weather but the most important part has been done from Sandy the farmer! She brought some goats for the kids to play with, then have the kids on a wagon ride and pony ride. She was so nice and helpful. The kids and all the parents (all of us were welcome) had a really nice experience. I highly recommend this farm! Thank you!
Very welcoming "farm helpers" and the baby goats were adorable. The farm store looked great too though admittedly I didn't get a chance to look thoroughly as we had to duck out of our event pretty quickly as my child was having trouble with the heat. Would definitely go back again when the weather cools.
