Located about 40-45 minutes away from the city, the farm is easy to find (just type in the address on their website). The entry fee is very reasonable at $5 per car, and they also sell some food (i.e. chips, drinks, baked goods, pulled pork sandwiches) as well as sunflowers up front. Food wasn't particularly memorable but not bad, and the sunflowers were quite the deal (only $1 per stem, or 6 for $5). The actual sunflower field was reasonably sized. It was a bit difficult to navigate through the mud, and also a little hard to get good photos unless you go off the trail and into the flower beds (which you're not supposed to do), but the sunflowers were still pretty. Overall very glad I visited. Not sure if I'd necessarily make the trip out again anytime soon, but I definitely recommend it if you have not gone before!

We were going to book some of the private experiences but they were sold out so we just did the regular farm tour. So glad we did, because as it turned out everyone else who booked at that time except one other couple were late, so we pretty much got the place to ourselves! Our favorite part was feeding the kangaroos, capybaras, and the tortoise. And we got to pet/hold hands with the baby river otters through the fence! They also have horses that we loved scratching, and also porcupines, sloth, prairie dog, donkeys, camels, alpacas, zebras, emus, and an ostrich. The highland cow was off somewhere else apparently about to give birth. Purchase your tix online in advance before you go. Once to the driveway, you have to open the gate, drive through, then close the gate so the animals don't escape! Park just down the driveway near the port-a potty. The owners were really nice and helped teach us about the animals. It was a very hot day and not much shade, but the perfect detour on a long car ride.

This place was a lot of fun!…read more When you get to the entrance there is a closed gate stating you must have a reservation and a QR code to tickets. You then have to open the metal gate, pull through, and close it behind you. There are loose animals in the parking area so it is pretty important to close it behind you! There wasn't any signage for parking, but when you drive down to the dumpster and port-a-potty, that is where you should park. We got to see the horses, rams, camels and donkeys that were loose in the parking area before going to the sloth enclosure. We also went into the kangaroo enclosure, which also had two capybaras and some porcupines in separate enclosures that you could pet. After that there's a hay rack, that is hooked up to a truck, that will drive you out to the big pasture. We got to feed the big buffalo, camels, zebra, and cows. We loved how hands on this place was, it could use some updating and better signage for parking, but we will definitely go back to this place!

There is a small gift shop and a cute cat in sweater that is free to pet, although they do charge $20/hour to pet the bald cat. There are other animals there (goats, horses) and I think it costs more to cuddle/pet those animals. Be warned - this is a small cow pasture, so expect mud I don't know what a fair price is, but these seems decent Kind of a schlep to get there The bathroom is in their house!

Aiden, the owner, is a wonderful woman and has provided a close retreat to enjoy them. First, there are Highland Cows (hairy coos), which are a wonderful, rare joy to see and pet. My favorite was Maple. She happily chewed on my shirt for a half hour, front and back. Really enjoyed spending time with her. This is a must see for kids especially. They all are very mellow and you get to truly spend time with them. Second, I had the opportunity to spend time with Remi (Aiden's huge horse) and Radar (Aiden's new donkey). Having spent my entire upbringing with horses, this was very special to me. The great author Herman Melville said that "No philosophers so thoroughly comprehend us as dogs and horses." Hear, hear. Third, and a wonderful surprise, was getting to pet Aiden's dog, Oakley. Why? He is a full sized black Great Dane. I have only been close to one once, and that was 40 years ago. What an amazing dog. At least 3 feet tall and paws the size of my hands. Lastly, I walked "Goat" the goat around for a bit while she ate. That was as peaceful as it was interesting to what she ate and what she avoided. Be mindful that this is a working farm. There is mud, poop, and all the wonderfulness of being on a farm. Knowing the costs of running a farm, especially with that many animals, no one who cares about them should balk at the cost. It appears that a recent reviewer did not have a clue when booking. Of course, when they post "It took three times to ask for water, it should have been offered" then you have someone who is a bit spoiled. Just saying.

Alpacas, a member of the camelid family, are smaller and nicer than llamas, a relative. Mainly, they don't spit, at least not intentionally. We found these alpacas to be sweet, soft and silly. It was a little difficult to find the farm. The entrance is not clearly marked and we made at least two wrong forays onto adjacent properties before finding the farm. Once there we were welcomed by Heather, one of the owners, who gave us a brief rundown before introducing us to some of their goats, sheep, turkeys, donkey. She led us to the paddocks where the alpacas were, giving us instructions on how to approach them, how to feed them, how to pet them. Most had been recently shorn and Heather provided us with feed and the alpacas eagerly ate from our outstretched palms. They were soft and plush, the females more delicate eaters and the males (separated in a different area) were gobblers. These are animals, not pets, so while they are gentle, they do have wills of their own. It was a warm day and the alpacas enjoyed a spray from the hose. It was funny to see how excited they were to feed (reminds me of my dogs) and they ran after Heather when she got the food. Afterwards, we went to the barn where Heather, a fiber artist, demonstrated how the alpaca fur can be mixed with other fibers, how the wool is felted, and how it can be spun into yarn. There are textiles, yarn, garments for sale. Reservations are required. Sign up for the first time slot. Our tour ran over by 30 minutes and the next group had to wait. It is a picturesque drive to the farm but keep in mind that it turns into a two lane road through country lanes. We had left plenty of time for the drive but with our misdirected turnarounds and some road construction we ended up cutting it close.

My kids loved everything from the large corn maze to the swings to the games to the playground equipment to the large sandbox filled with corn. My kids were 4 and 6 during our visit, but the farm can easily accommodate older or younger. Two notes; 1. The bathrooms in the back of the farm are new & super clean. 2. Don't feel pressure to purchase the add ones (apple chucking and paintball) - those sections are towards the back of the farm and easily avoidable. There was a variety of food options - a few standard theme park options along with specialty options like homemade ice cream.

Buy tickets online- tickets are cheaper. If you go during the week- it's cheaper too! They also have 50% off for active military and veterans, which is a great deal! They have all kinds of games, tug of war ropes, a play area/little town for younger kids, pig races. Some nights they have fireworks or bands. If you come- the corn maze is a must! All types of food vendors like burgers, fries, chicken fingers, ice cream and apple cider donuts. You can spend hours here and not get bored. They also have for pit and picnic table areas you can rent out and they provide logs and sticks so you can roast marshmallows or hotdogs. Definitely recommend this farm.
