Looking for a fun outdoor activity for the family? Need to de-stress from the craziness of life? Cuddling with animals offers the opportunity to relax your mind and let go of the stress and anxiety for brief period. Not to mention, it's just FUN! During your visit, you will have one hour to cuddle, play with, and feed treats to the animals on our micro-farm. While we do have a couple sheltered areas in case the weather turns bad, the experience is much better when it's nice outside. If we are expecting bad weather for your booked hour, I'm happy to work with you on re-scheduling for a nicer day or time. We currently have 7 adult Nigerian Dwarf Goats, 4 baby goats who were born the first week in March, a year-old miniature Zebu named Molly, a rescue calf named Ferdinand, and two piglets named Charlie and Ellie. We also have numerous chickens, as well as our little Holland Lop bunnies, Oliver and Olivia. One of our goats is pregnant and due to kid at the end of June, so we are excited to have a new babies on the farm later this summer! ** For the health and safety of both our animals and yours, we do not allow outside animals to visit the farm.** **We do not have a public bathroom on-site, since this is our home. For your convenience, we do offer a Porta-John with hand sanitizer**
