Admission was free today which was unexpected. I've never been here and will definitely come back. The staff really cares for the animals and all the kids that visit. They are super sweet and patient. Lots of different animals to see and even a spot to pet baby chicks. There's a scavenger hunt, planting a vegetable activity, and many more fun things.

Loved attending the 35th birthday of the farm ! such an amazing experience hanging out with the animals. my favorites were the Holstein cows and pygmy angora goats ! was also lovely with live music and beautiful gardens and the goody bag provided such sweet souvenirs. it was also super educational too- I didn't know little piggies could have fun playing with big rubber balls ! 10 outta 10 would go again
