    My daughter Dixie is obsessed with capybaras & the visit to The Dunham Farm was a 10th birthday present. Favorite gift ever! My daughter & her 2 friends said it was “the BEST day of their lives!” Todd was hilarious, SO good with them & super interesting/knowledgeable! The farm was absolutely beautiful! We went for capybaras, but I can’t wait to go back for all of the other animals & trees! (and maybe a bunny ) Thank you so very much!!

    Wow!! What a fantastic property!!! I brought my friend here last week to see the animals and have an experience with the capybaras. Todd is incredibly charismatic and knowledgeable, he takes great care of his animals and his property. It doesn't look like it should be as big as it is from the road! I definitely recommend going during spring or autumn when the weather is nice and everything is pretty and green. Make sure to call ahead and get an appointment, he books up quick! I'll certainly be going again. Also he has an amazing orchard, and the setup for his poultry is adorable!

    The Dunham Farm was an absolute unforgettable experience! There are several animals to see and have an exclusive encounters with. By appointment only. With a reservation, you can have an exclusive encounter with one or all the animals. There is a variety of packages on the website to choose from. The animals are super calm, gentle, and approachable. During our visit, we had the opportunity to meet the very popular capybaras. We attend the first tour at 8:30AM which provided a great temperature before the summer heat settled in. The owner was very welcoming and provided an excellent tour around the farm before routing us to our exhibit. We fed, played, and took several pictures with the capybaras. Such a remarkable experience! The gift shop offer a variety of souvenirs such as T-shirts, pins, stickers, plushies, croc charms, blankets, and bags. By purchasing those items, you are helping to take care of all the animals. The owner was very responsive and gave a lot of information ahead of time to come ready for your visit. We did the 30min tour, but will do the 90min tour next time, it will worth the experience! 🚫♿️ : Not too wheelchair friendly since there is a lot of big rocks around the farm, will be hard to maneuver around. VIP packages would be best to purchase since it will include a tour with the 4wheeler. Thank you for being very accommodating during our first visit to the Dunham First! We will see you soon!

    One of the best experiences we’ve had, my sisters dream came true after seeing the capybaras up close. The animal are so sweet and kind, kid friendly and even the babies were so social. We will be back again in fall to see them. The staff was very friendly and taught us so much. We have been to multiple zoos and even safari parks, to see capybaras and this has been the best by far. Do not hesitate to make this decision if you love animals. Thanks again Dunham family!

    This was the best experience ever. My and my boyfriend are the biggest capy lovers, all of the capys were so social and gentle. The entire farm was very clean and well kept. If I could give 10 stars I would. The store is definitely a good perk for capybara merch!!
