- How Long Is the Experience: 1-1.5 hours for the guided farm tour. The exact duration depends on animal behavior, group pace, and what’s happening on the farm that day—it’s authentic farm experience, not a timed program.
- What Ages Can Participate: All ages welcome. Infants (0-3) are free; children aged 4-12 are $15; adults 13+ are $40. Very young children will need adult supervision and assistance with animal feeding. Infants can be held or in prams while you tour.
- What Will We Actually Do: Start by feeding the cows (they come running to the fence). Then move through the farm meeting, feeding, and patting donkeys, pigs, rabbits, chickens, and other animals. Enjoy a hay bale tractor ride. Possibly meet baby calves if they’re being halter-trained (depends on farm schedule). Meet Molly and Max, the friendly golden retrievers. Finish with farm-fresh honey available at the shop. This all depends on what’s happening on the farm that day—farm life is flexible.

- Do You Sell Food and Drinks?

7. Can I Bring My Own Food Scraps for Animals?
Absolutely! Cows love bananas, cut apples, carrots, and green food scraps. We’ll supply bread for the cows, but bringing additional treats makes the feeding experience richer. No processed foods or anything harmful.
8. What About the Dogs?
Molly and Max are golden retrievers—super friendly and love human interaction. They may jump on your car door when you arrive (especially if you have your window down), but they’ll move so you can park. They’re part of the farm experience. Please let us know if you or your children don’t like dogs or have animal allergies.
