Farm rules are crucial for ensuring the safety of both visitors and animals. These guidelines help prevent accidents, reduce risks, and create a harmonious environment where everyone can enjoy their time on the farm while respecting the needs and behaviors of the animals and the unique setting.
- NO DOGS, we have a very dog-aggressive guardian dog on site (it’s his job to keep away animals and other dogs are a threat to his farm). Dogs in cars upset him, so please do not attend with dogs and leave them in your car.
- If you have a service dog, we require advance appointments so we can make arrangements to provide a safe visit for your dog and ours.
- Please call the farm to make arrangements to bring a service dog, walk-ins without an
appointment put animals at risk and cannot be accommodated. - We do not allow any outside food or drinks to come inside the farm. The only exception is cake or cupcakes brought in for parties.
- We have many free range animals in the farm yards. They are all very friendly and food
motivated. These change depending on the day but can include goats, mini-cows,
mini-donkeys, ponies, cats, our dog, chickens and rabbits. We only put them up for private groups. If your child is terrified of animals, they will likely not enjoy a visit to our farm as the animals are everywhere. - We do not offer refunds, you do not need to purchase advance tickets and we recommend waiting until you arrive and purchasing tickets at the entrance.
- All visitors need a paid ticket to enter the farm except babies 2 years old and under. We do not offer free attendance to chaperones, caretakers, bus drivers, or parents, guardians, or any other guest. Everyone must pay to enter.
- We don’t offer weather refunds, but do allow reschedules IN ADVANCE of your pre-purchased ticket time. No-shows do not get reschedules, sorry.
- Petting and holding small animals and baby animals should be done in a sitting position only.
- Please do not walk around the farm with animals. Baby chickens should be held while sitting in a low chair or on the ground to prevent them from getting injured.
- Bunnies bite and Bunnies scratch. They are more like kitty cats than dogs and have scratchy nails. Please be mindful of signs posted for animals you should not pet or hold, however it’s important to note we cannot predict an animal biting. Any animal (including the unicorns) might bite on any day.
- Please do not allow small toddlers and babies to feed horses. Their fingers tend to linger out of curiosity and that is an invitation to bite.
- Please make sure your children are supervised at all times, especially while handling animals.
- Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to hold animals without parental supervision. Any child mishandling animals will be prohibited from holding them.
- Children who have recently eaten tasty snacks and treats should wash hands before attempting to feed animals as the smells might encourage biting since the animal thinks it smells like food.
- Please do not allow your children to chase our chickens, they are our beloved pets and do not appreciate being harassed.
- Do not allow children to walk behind or hang on the backs of small donkeys, cattle, horses and ponies, they might kick to remove the offending pressure of the child hanging on their back end.
- We do not allow riding or sitting on miniature animals.
- Please keep children out of the riding area unless they are riding. Pony and Horse leading for rides is only done by our handlers.
- We do not allow double riding in any situation.
- We have one child’s helmet available to use at your discretion.
- Adults up to 220 pounds can ride our horse or large mule.
- We do not allow umbrellas or balloons near when riding on the horses.
- We are a working farm and have bees, wasps, spiders, the occasional native non-venomous scorpions, snakes, mice, and other critters and creepy crawlies and animal poop. Hopefully you won’t see any during your visit, but please note they all live here, so you might.
- Please be mindful of cones and area barriers. Cone indicates you should not go into that area. Please don’t open closed doors or go past barriers.
