This farm has a lot to do and animals to see BUT when we came today the large black cattle had…read moredried poop all over it like a large amount and looked neglected it's also living on slushy mud they can barley stand and look miserable. The white donkey has a large sore on his right front leg which maggots are living in and looks really Uncomfortable and infected. My 6 year old started crying and said what's wrong with his owie, it's very noticeable and needs to be addressed ASAP! I grew up on a farm and know animals and proper living, and I can honestly say some of this stuff was not ok and made me sad for these animals. We paid $5 a person to come today they should be getting way better care. I hope management sees this and addresses these issues. For the animals sake please!

We were the only visitors and I appreciate that you can walk around the farm leisurely and without rushing. The friendly black barn cat ended up being our tour guide. The animals were beautiful and friendly. I'm sure the farm is even more lovely to visit in the spring and summer time. Definitely a great afternoon activity. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you for making your farm accessible to the public.

A & R Alpaca Farm is such a fantastic experience for anyone who likes to interact with friendly…read morelivestock. My girlfriend had seen an ad somewhere (possibly on Facebook), and with my farm-loving mother coming to town from Canada, we knew we had to go. They don't have dedicated hours posted anywhere, as they're indeed a working farm, but after reaching out on Facebook Messenger and then calling, we were able to arrange for a visit the next day. Located about 45 minutes outside of Columbus, A & R Alpaca Farm is quite nondescript from the outside -- miles of agricultural properties surround it, and there's no overt signage marking this farm in particular...but as we nearly overshot the property, we saw a few alpacas off in the distance, and found the place without issue. As we pulled in, Aaron and Robin (the "A" and "R" of the name) had just come back from feeding the herd, and they invited us to enter the stable...which had dozens upon dozens of curious alpacas (not to mention a cat, a couple of big dogs, and several chickens) all monitoring our arrival. Robin was incredibly friendly, and after we spent a few minutes petting alpacas in a larger pen, she brought us into a smaller pen with perhaps twenty alpacas, and gave us little "cookies" to feed them with. Much to our surprise, Robin had not only named all of the alpacas (the farm has around 120 heads overall), but also managed to *remember* all of their names...and some alpacas seemed to respond when called. All the alpacas had different personalities, with some being aloof and flighty, and others being downright affectionate. One in particular had special affinity for being photographed. As soon as she saw the smart phone come out, she would come forward for a perfect photo op (seriously, folks -- I can't make this stuff up). After around 45 minutes of hanging out with the alpacas, we went into the gift shop, where there were many unique items made from alpaca yarn. Stuffed animals, toys, clothing, gloves, skeins of yarn were all available, and given that the proprietors didn't charge for our little tour, we made a point of buying a lot of goods...not as compensation, but because the goods are indeed worthwhile. If the words "alpaca gloves" don't make you want to drive there immediately, after this long and cold Columbus winter, I don't know what else will. In all seriousness, there's really nothing not to like about A & R Alpaca Farm. Robin and Aaron are kind and enthusiastic about their business, the alpacas are docile and generally willing to be petted, and the whole trip makes for a unique and delightful experience. It *is* worth noting that the animals are livestock, and it is a working farm, so you'll want to wear boots and clothes that you don't mind smelling like alpaca afterwards, but to my mind, that's more of a "perk" than a detriment.

He is 2 and I found the activities at the farm to be perfect for toddlers. They have numerous play areas and many places in which they have set up slides, which is my son's favorite. He had a blast in the corn grain barn. A great sensory play activity for all kids. He loved the mountain tunnel and straw barn slides. We enjoyed the pumpkin jump area and took both the hay ride and pumpkin express. My son also enjoyed petting the goats. We missed the piglet race, but sounded fun. There was a handwashing station near the animal and corn box barns, which I appreciated. We had a apple cider slushie, which tasted like taking a bite off a freshly picked apple, which was perfect for the warm day.

So this year, we finally got to enjoy it again, as a family. But this year, grandbabies joined us! At $5 a head, we had an enjoyable afternoon together. We didn't check out the corn maze, nor do pony rides. But we did enjoy some prime family photo time in the pumpkin patch, while picking out a few small pumpkins for the grand daughters. Compared to the cost of pumpkins in the store, they are a little higher. But you do get the experience of picking your own and supporting a local small business. Our granddaughter that's mobile enjoyed every bit of the sensory buffet available. From the play equipment, to dancing to the live music, and petting and interacting with the farm animals. She had a great time sliding down the huge pile of hay, over and over, by the pumpkin patch. We found the concessions to be a bit of a bummer. They didn't offer a lot of the great fall treats like they use to. And you can only use a card if you're spending at least $5. So when we all started to get thirsty and have the nibbles, we left and moved to our next destination.
