  • Bring reusable water bottles for your family - even in cold weather it’s important to drink water! We’ll have bottled water for sale if you forget.

  • If it has rained within 48 hours of your visit to the farm it will be very muddy. We suggest either wearing or bringing boots to the farm.

Weather policy - please read!

Open Farm hours are 10am – 4pm Saturdays and Sundays.  We will close when it’s a heat advisory, rainy or cold so that the animals can be kept indoors.  If on either day, the hourly forecast as of 6am calls for temperatures of 40F or below, or a high chance of rain during at least half of our opening hours, or temperatures over 100F we will be closed on that day or have reduced hours.  

Please check Facebook for current conditions and modifications to our hours.  The animals appreciate your understanding!
