We had the best birthday party at this farm recently for our big six year old boy! Kids absolutely loved feeding the Guinea pigs and goats… the unicorn was a true hit and surprise for all! Walking horses was so peaceful and make for sweet group pictures. The parents had a wonderful time watching their children bond with each other and all of the animals. The party room was beautifully decorated and provided plenty of space! Staff is amazing- so friendly, up beat, well organized, communicative, and excellent with all of the children! We were very happy with our experience and all at a very reasonable price too!! Would highly recommend for any birthday party with young children ?Many thanks! -Allison and Eric

This place is truly amazing sanctury, we booked the craft events and fed the guinea pigs and goats. We spent an hour just walking around and felt welcomed throughout our stay. The gift shop has some really cute gifts to support the animals.

Well it is a non-profit farm. Cut them some slack. Some of the folks were very nice (older guy and lady taking horses out for a walk), some were almost resentful. Maybe it was bad timing, there was a bit of a crowd there. There is NO running water in the WC so be sure to bring your own fresh water and soap (you'll need it). There is a WC, though, mercifully, albeit proverbial hole-in-the-ground. The farm animals are cute, and not smelly (surprise!). But they are a messy bunch. They are not mean at all, given their history; although they do squabble for food, so stand back.The 1$ food snack is great deal, buy 10 of them and go for it. Reach in, they don't bite. Although they slobber a lot. Pat them, scratch them (behind ears). Rattle your food cup, they like that.Be sure to ask folks there what animals need feeding and what don't. These are (likely) abused discarded, so many have health issues. Certainly do not feed them junk garbage. They have enough problems.Take your time, walk around, the donkeys are very cute (no feeding them), passive and friendly. The horses are, typically, aloof and uppity. The turtle, rabbit, guinea pigs are cute but could care less about us. The goats are the stars! And the tiny steer (Cimshe?) is super cute. Rub his back, he loves it; you know this because if you stop and walk away, he'll follow you. Beware, he's a messy guy, your hand will be brown with oily something. Did I mention bring your own soap?Parking very well organized. Watch hours, they close early mostly. Shop inside has usual farm stuff. Donations for food cups (unless somebody is there). Call ahead if you want horse rides; they seem understaffed, typical of volunteer places. Thank them for doing a job few would/could do too. Humans have a strange relationship with animals. We love them, fear them, hate some, eat many, we adore some, and torture them (ever been to an abattoir in January?).

We came here for a birthday party. The activities were good: Walking horses, petting guinea pigs, feeding goats, a wagon ride. Animals were very friendly and good with kids. The schedule seemed a little chaotic, staff kept changing the ordering that we were going to do things and ended up doing all the animal stuff before food stuff and no place to wash hands, no hand sanitizer in the outhouse either. Some of the staff was really friendly while others seemed annoyed and rushing us along through everything even though we were held up by their changing of the schedule of events.

We recently visited the farm and were delighted to see all the animals (donkeys, goats, horses, ducks, peacocks, chickens, Guinea pigs, llama, and a tortoise). The staff gave us a very informative and interesting guided tour. Even though there was light rain we were able to feed the goats outside. Our group of adults really enjoyed grooming the horses and leading them on a walk in the barn (since it was raining). The Guinea pigs were also a delight to feed close up. A lot of the animals have been rescued from bad situations so visiting is a great opportunity to support this organization.

Mostly a farm animal rescue. They have goats, cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, some birds. You can feed some of them. They seem happy and well taken care of.

We had my daughter's 3rd birthday here and all the kids had a blast. The staff were so nice and did an awesome job introducing their animals to them and allowing them to interact. My daughter couldn't stop talking about the unicorn horses the entire ride home.

Very cute farm. Animals are friendly and look healthy. Love that you can feed the sheep and goats. Accessibility for a wheelchair is a bit difficult but manageable. Staff were friendly. I would visit again
