May 3, 2026Took the family out for their "baby animal festival" and we had a blast. My 2yr old loved all the baby goats jumping around. We ended the day by having smores by the fire. Would recommend bringing your little ones to learn about farm life and farm animals.

April 18, 2026The farm babies were all so cute! They had calf, chicks (although it seems they were not for visit), lambs, little goats, piglets. They also have alpacas and llamas . Some huge pigs. Overall the experience was amazing. I notice the kids especially having such a good time
