Moo-ve About The Farm
This is our flagship farm tour program and is a perfect option for groups looking for a fun, educational, hands on farm experience that provides an overall introduction to our farm and resident animals. This guided tour will cover basic farm and animal facts and provides the opportunity to interact and pet all of our animal species. Since we are a real working farm that thrives on seasonal changes and natural life cycles, tour content also changes with the seasons. Most tours will include horses, chickens, cows, goats, pigs, sheep, donkeys, ponies, rabbits and ducks and don’t forget to ask about adding a hayrack ride around the farm! This tour option can be customized for all ages and knowledge levels and is also perfect for groups with special needs!
