“This was our second visit. Great experience for my little one who absolutely loved the ducks and bunnies. Guests can get up close with the bunnies and the play pen for the kids. Animals are tame and used to lots of visitors. Animals are well kept and well taken care of from the look of things. Bought some locally made sourdough at the farm too and was pretty good. Only 4 ingredients so definitely a good and healthy choice. Limited parking inside but loads of space to park outside.”

“This is a delightful hidden gem that I hope the community discovers and enjoys as much as we did. My husband and I were not disappointed. There were so many cute animals to see. We purchased a medium bucket of food to interact with the farm animals and we wished we had gotten the large. There were also Pumpkins for purchase and a couple of vendors. We're bringing the grandkids the next time they come to town. Please support local businesses.”
