What an incredible experience!! Love petting and feeding treats to the happy farm animals- goats, pigs, llamas, baby yaks, bunnies and more! Feels so good to connect with the land and animals. Farmer Lois is a delight and generous with her home, time and knowledge. Friendly staff and a cheerful place. Awesome playground, too! From Farm Yoga to outdoor live music this place is full of fun! Highly recommend. Thank you for always brightening my day, Cook's Country Connection! read more

This place is amazing ! The staff are warm, friendly, welcoming and truly enjoy what they do! The atmosphere is wonderful for kids of all ages ! They let you get in and really have a "full experience " with all the animals! You get to hold, pet and feed all the animals ! The pony was walking around free range. You can tell they take EXCELLENT care of their animals . There is a large play set , sand box, and swings for the kids. This truly is the best experience I have had, and no other place even compares to this. We will 100% be back! Thanks again the great day! read more

History

Established in 2014.

After losing my business to a catastrophic fire it was a chance to do the "right" thing and not just the "next" thing. The farm has been in our family over 117 years and now we can share it with all of you!

I think it's important for everyone to have something to connect to. Animals are accepting, loving and kind....they have a lot to teach us.

Seeing the wolves close up is pretty amazing, they are so beautiful! The pups were really cute too…read more But after you watch them for a while with the handlers (who were in the enclosure the entire time we were there) you feel like you're watching large domesticated dogs. There was also a demonstration when we were there and we had hoping we'd learn more about each wolf but it was only the wolves being fed bratwurst. I would have left 4 stars but the bathrooms were really gross. Still cool to see the wolves but for the price it didn't quite hit the mark.

Our destination was Bear Head Lake State Park and we decided to take a detour to check out the…read morecenter. So glad we did. While there are several areas to peruse, my favorites were the presentation by the guides and the enrichment activity. At 3:15pm, the guide gave a very educational and engaging presentation about several aspects of wolves, I.e. their color, what they eat, how they hunt, how they work and live together, etc. the presentation was made in front of the viewing area so as the wolves walked by, she also talked specifically about that individual. She had props and answered many questions. Very nicely done. At 4pm, and enrichment activity was held for the wolves. Trainers enter the wolves' enclosure and hide various treats for them to explore. It allows guests to see the wolves doing natural behaviors. Their large paws were fascinating to me. Such a beautiful animal. So glad we stopped.

Owner was so rude she made my wife cry all because our dog was in our parked vehicle and we didn't see the sign that says no pets. The owners large white dog jumped up on our vehicle and scratched the crap out of it! We will never return and you can bet I will be shouting from the rooftops to anyone who will listen about our experience! Farm, Goats, Playground, Feed, Pigs, Baby. read more
