Tips & Advice
- Arrive early, especially on weekends, as the farm can get crowded and parking may fill up. Consider visiting on a weekday evening for a more relaxed experience.
- Bring cash for purchases outside the main market, as only the market accepts cards. This will speed up transactions for souvenirs, treats, and animal feed.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable, sturdy shoes. The farm's terrain can be uneven, and navigating the grounds, especially in low light, requires good footwear.
- Purchase animal feed bags ($3) to enhance your petting zoo experience. This allows for safe and interactive feeding of the farm's animals.
- Check their social media channels for any weather-related closures, as the event will close for the night in case of rain or severe weather.
Special Events & Promotions
- Proceeds support the farm's mission, rescued animals, and programs for special needs individuals, teens with mental health issues, and Veterans with PTSD.
- Yuletide Wagon rides offer a magical journey through light tunnels and the Christmas village.
