    I'm not sure what I was expecting, maybe more interaction with the baby highlands? They were in a barn, keeping cool behind a gate. So you could only pet them for a minute because there were others trying to do the same. There were 2 big highland cows, the kids did pet them. They pet a horse and donkey, too.

    Our family of 6 went there for their Hug a Cow experience and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! The cows are adorable, and we got plenty of time hanging out with the baby cows. The owners clearly cares a lot and love their animals. They explained a lot and makes us feel very welcomed. They also have a beautiful property, with flower gardens, chickens, goats, pig, lavender garden, and I'd say it's very clean for a farm!

    Beautiful place! You can tell the owners care a lot about the well-being of their cows. They have so many fun friends and it’s so worth it to experience being around them. Highlands are delightful creatures! I look forward to supporting them in the future!

    I did freelance graphic design work for the owners and I am suing them in court. I designed the logo they are using, website and other marketing materials in which is registered in my name as a group of work with The Library of Congress. They have been sent a Cease and Desist letter as well to stop using my work they have not paid for. Towards the tail end of the job and them stalling for two months, they demanded more work to be done last minute that was not apart of the contract, and even forged my initials on a copy of the contract to try to cover their tracks. When we refused to keep doing more work for them without being paid, they changed the website login info and locked us out of it, and stiffed us on the final payment. We went above and beyond for them by providing great customer service despite their unprofessional behavior! We even helped them write content for their website that should have already been provided. We also provided them with training to make edits to the website. From my experience doing work for them, the owners can severely lack business ethics and I would advise you to steer clear of them. Thank you for your time and God bless!
