    We LOVED this! My son asked to come back again before we even left the parking lot. The baby animals were too precious, getting to pet and hold them all was amazing and absolutely everyone so nice and patient with all of the kids. The farm was beautiful as well. Highly recommend bringing your fam for some fun!

    Such a cute farm! Loved that each animal is able to be interacted with, lots to do even with little ones, spent a good hour or so here, and they have a little store for fresh eggs, honey, and meat! The workers and volunteers were all very sweet and very helpful with any questions we had about the animals, perfect place for kids and adults alike.

    We came here to work with the animals through our Veterinary Technician program and honestly it was incredibly rewarding. We learned a lot about how to handle these beautiful animals and it was one of the highlights of my educational learning path.

    I really enjoy bringing my kids here it's small, but it has every animal you could ask for. The small size makes it even easier to navigate. The price is more than reasonable, and you get a tractor ride! So fun I love it! I'm a regular here!
