4 months agoWe absolutely love it here! We picnic, walk the trails, feed the animals and always stop at the little store they have on sight for the locally made sauces, syrups and other delicious treats!! Don't forget to grab some of their freshly grown lettuces and vegetables as well!!

2 weeks agoWe did see and interact with chickens, ducks, and goats, and they were delightful. The farm was tidy and the animals appeared happy. Walked some of the trails and those were nice, too, but we were disappointed there wasn't a greater variety of animal such as the sheep and llama/alpaca pictured on the website. It must have been "off season" or something, because there was only one cow which we couldn't get near, a couple of horses we also couldn't pet, pigs we couldn't touch, and a barn we couldn't enter. 4 stars because it was free and it was a decent way to spend a few hours.

a year agoA fantastic little farm with lots of animals, a farm stand, hiking trails and more. See photos of the variety of animals here. The hiking trails go from here all the way to Pulpit rock about 7 miles round trip. You can hike more if you want as that was our almost direct walk with a couple side trails. But there are even more side trails. There is one smaller loop around the farm if you want to do the farm only. And if you wish to avoid the farm there are other entrances to pulpit rock. See that google review for more on the hiking trails.

2 months agoA delightfully quiet place to introduce your child to animals and the tranquility of the farm, during off hours. Although, during busy times, a little lack luster to be an attraction and not quite educational enough to be a self-guided experience. It offers a very nice means to bond with loved ones and escape the pressures that life affords. It's one of my favorite places to spend a Sunday afternoon appreciating how slow the good times can pass and how insignificant the difficult times may truly be.
