Good To Know

• Wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing, as this is a working farm and you may get a bit dirty and sandals are for beaches, this is a farm-toes could get bitten!
• No pets allowed: While animals are adored there, the residents prefer their space. This policy ensures the safety of both your pets and ours.
• Bring or purchase treats for the animals! The cows are big fans of bananas, and the smaller animals enjoy carrots, strawberries, and Cheerios. Bags of treats are for sale in the gift shop.
• Accessibility: If you or a guest need assistance getting around, please let them know in advance so arrangements can be made for a golf cart.
