How could anyone not love this place? Yes, Carl's Damaged Pet Warehouse is the actual name and no,…read morethis is not an outlet store where the pets have minor cosmetic imperfections and are 40% off. It's actually a little animal rescue tucked into the backyard of a private property, where you can visit rescued Highland cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, tortoises, ducks, sheep and assorted other members of the Island of Misfit Pets. It's completely free to visit. You stay outside the fence for safety, but you can still pet and feed the animals (and it's okay to get emotionally attached to them!) Sometimes Carl leaves food outside for visitors to hand out to the "damaged pets" or you can bring your own approved snacks like apples, zucchini, carrots and cucumber. Basically a very wholesome BYOS situation. I posted a photo of the full approved-food list so you too can trick some furballs into becoming your new best friends. You can also leave a monetary donation to help with the cost of caring for the animals. You can visit at any time, but remember this IS someone's private property, so obviously be respectful of the home and neighbors.

Although the farm is small and has its charm, our experience at a recent birthday party was…read moreunfortunately overshadowed by the behavior of a staff member who claimed to be the owner. She was rude to several guests, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Most of our party parked in the overflow parking lot, which is clearly marked with multiple signs. However, during the event, the employee walked over and padlocked both gates, preventing anyone from accessing their vehicles. We were told to reach out when we were ready to leave so she could unlock the gates. When the party ended, I texted her as instructed, but she refused to open the gates. She claimed no such arrangement had been made and told us we would have to walk all the way to the front entrance and then back to our vehicles, instead of simply unlocking the gates. This situation was frustrating and unnecessary, especially after being given different instructions earlier. While the location itself is nice, the lack of professionalism and poor communication significantly impacted our overall experience.

Highlights include: feeding the rescue animals, getting a pumpkin to take home included in admission, and browsing the unique gift shop. I also liked that we didn't have to buy tickets in advance, even on a weekend, and there's more shade when it's still toasty in October. The only thing they're missing is a corn maze. I highly recommend checking this place out, whether you have little ones or you're just looking for an autumnal date or photo op. Wear comfy shoes and budget yourself about 2 hours for this experience.

My only negative is that I wish there were more areas to sit down and take in the scenery.. I was happy to discover a shaded area with a table and some chairs near a chicken coop where I was able to enjoy Mother Nature. There also are stations to get food to feed the animals like the chicken, duck and fish. Also, when you enter the botanical garden, they give you a wristband that allows you to leave and re-enter for the day which is great especially because there are a couple of fun places with activities and restaurants right in the same area as the garden!!

When I reached out about a partial refund and offered to return the roosters, this is the response I got: No, actually, that only means it's not 100% accurate. Our policy is listed on our website. We do not guarantee, refund, return, swap, or exchange. This is an extremely standard policy across the board for any Hatchery or place of business that sells chicks. If you have a rooster you can give it away for free on Craigslist. Next time go ahead and shop at tractor supply. Buy your chicks from there and when you get a rooster try to call them and make them take it back and see what happens. Best, Brittney I'm so glad I didn't book my niece's birthday party here because the level of customer service leaves a lot to be desired. On a side note, we have bought many female chickens from Tractor Supply over the years and none have been roosters. Not even one.

I walked in wondering what I'd order, not even knowing what they serve. After seeing a few plates of biscuits and gravy and speaking to the ladies that were enjoying it, my decision was made easy. I make biscuits and gravy and mine is my judge on the worthiness. This was pretty darn good. And I'm typically disappointed when I do try it. Biscuits were large. Gravy was nice and chunky and not too salty as most seem to be. I ordered a side of country taters. Also tasty. So tasty that when I went to order a coffee a blackbird decided to swipe a few. The pastry case called me too. I got a Blueberry muffin and a Cherry Turnover. Both fantastic, although when I got home I wondered what I ordered because it was $16. For two pastries? Nah. Great family atmosphere.

In contrast, the one in Mesa stated that they do not gender any of the animals. I waited for a short while, realizing they were busy, but I felt like I was more of an inconvenience than a valued customer. It didn't have a friendly atmosphere. While I'm not suggesting that the staff were unfriendly, the overall vibe was lacking warmth. The animals were fun to observe, and that rooster was pretty cool. However, I wish the store offered better training for its employees. Given that I drove five hours to visit this location, I don't think I will be returning. I will be looking for another store to visit.
