Please note, all events are planned weather permitting; no thunderstorms or heavy rain.  If in doubt, please call to verify we are open.

The farm is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Easter weekend through Thanksgiving weekend, or by reservation.  Call us for details to reserve the farm!

We opened on Easter Weekend - A blast was had by all!

Thank you to all of our wonderful customers for making this an event to remember!  The animals are so happy to be busy again.  They loved all of their Easter treats.

Mother's Day was a delight!

Mom's sat and relaxed, watched the children play in the new water feature, many brought a picnic and all had a great time on this special day.  As always, moms were free on Mother's Day.

Donkey Days of Summer!

Pet our donkeys Rosie Rou and Monty.  Feed them a special treat (we will provide the treat or you may bring quartered apples) every Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the month of August.  Picnic in the shade and let the little ones splash in our water feature and sprinklers.

Campfire and S' mores!

Join us every week-end, after the weather cools down, in September and October for our Saturday and Sunday campfire and complimentary s' mores.  Parents and children delight in this cozy atmosphere to make new friends or just enjoy the mountain view from our comfortable chairs.  Yum-yum.

September; Western Hoe Down!

Mom and dads: pack a picnic dinner, bring a blanket or chairs and enjoy a real country Hoe Down at the petting farm with your children.  This is a wonderful time for grandparents, aunts, uncles and the entire family and friends to get out and enjoy a truly memorable family experience.  Live music will be provided to keep everyone in the party mood.  Wear your fancy western wear and enjoy a toe "kickin" good time. 

The always entertaining Kim and Jimbo Cary will preform hoedown music and songs about animals on a variety of instruments. Audience participation will be encouraged! Let us entertain the children while you relax.

Come on out and help us name our beautiful baby girl cow, born July 30th and abandoned by her mom. She is just precious!  We will draw her name at this event.

October; Pumpkin Carving Party

Come on out, bring the family, meet new friends, bring your picnic dinner and of course bring a pumpkin to carve.  (Don't forget to bring your carving kit and a camera.)  We will build a pumpkin tower and light the pumpkins at dusk to Halloween music.   The children can feed the animals the pumpkin seeds.  Please remember to take your pumpkin home to decorate your front door!  By the way, we are growing giant pumpkins for the children to climb on for this fun fall event!
