You will no doubt spot Walter as you come up the long driveway. We will meet you there to disinfect our boots. We will start our tour with the pigs; you will learn all their stories and have an option to go in the pen. If you prefer, Henry and Paisley can come out to meet you. From there we will head over and meet Walter and his merry band of sheep. When you have had enough kisses from Walter, you will meet our wonderfully friendly, and playful, goat herd. We will end our tour with a walk in the woods, the dogs will no doubt join us. The experience lasts an hour. Other things to note: We understand how much you love your dogs but please leave them at home; we have some lovely ladies who will be happy to greet you and show you around.

I meet you up at my driveway and will introduce myself and sanitize everyone’s hands. We walk down to the animal area and visit with Charlotte. She generally will sing a HEE HAW to welcome visitors . She loves kids . We will enter the fenced alpaca pen . They know the “bucket” and being curious animals will come over to say hi and await treats . After some time we will enter with the goats who love scratches under the chin. Chickens run around free range waiting for corn to drop To the ground. Charlotte the donkey and Katie the mini horse enjoy head scratches and love to be cuddled . I have 5 pigs that were surrendered and will put on a small show vying for attention . My brother and sister team (clover and Timmy ) of mini horses love hand picked grass and clover for a small treat . Other things to note Parking is marked Outside event Social distancing Sanitizer

* WINTER TOURS; please dress warmly - the farm is quite windy + we'll be walking up a hill so please make sure you have appropriate footwear. Also, due to the fact that our pigs are spoiled divas, they will NOT go to the pond in inclement weather. Instead, we'll enjoy some time with the chickens and ducks in addition to the pigs and alpacas :) You'll start your farm adventure learning about our Alpacas - why we have them, some basic care and handling practices and then we'll move into the pen where you can get up close and feed if you wish - this is not a petting zoo so touching the alpacas is not guaranteed. Sometimes they're groovy with a neck scratch, sometimes they'd rather just a photo opt - either way, you'll be in for quite the experience! Next, we'll introduce you to our rescue pigs, Jolene and Billy Ray - they aren't shy to the limelight and would love a belly rub or ear scratch. We'll give you some info on pot bellys and WHY they're one of our fave farm friends. We'll finish off the tour with the pigs down by our pond where you can feed them and refresh with a beverage yourself :) There will be lots of opportunity for photos, so don't be shy! Other things to note Please note that we're a farm that loves on its farm friends but we do not guarantee that the animals are always up for pats or snuggles - we're not a petting zoo.
