I loved visiting this farm and sanctuary. The animals all came from rough conditions and now they…read morewill live the rest of their days surrounded by those who care. Kelly and her team do an excellent job providing 24/7 to these furry friends. Also, there is the option for volunteer work and also tours for all ages. All proceeds go to making sure these animals have food, clean shelter and medicines they need! Drive on out and hear their stories and support a local business!

This was so amazing! Please support them, and you won't be…read moredisappointed in your mini adventures with the animals.

Sadly, this little pumpkin patch has declined over the years. It used to be our favorite little…read morelocal place to go without the insane business like Rutledge. They used to have it set up so you could go out into their big fields and pick out all different varieties of pumpkins and they were reasonably priced. Now, the pumpkins are lined up in a row in a lawn area and there is nothing in their fields I wondered out loud if they even grew them there and the lady said they did but then why not leave them on the vine or in the field for the experience? It was a Saturday and not busy at all so I'm guessing others are bummed by the change as well. Pumpkin prices are not marked. We paid 40.00 for 3 medium sized pumpkins and 4 tiny decorative pumpkins. Afterwards we went to Walmart for some groceries and saw similar sized pumpkins for 3.97 a piece for large and 1.00 for tiny ones. We like to support local but I think we will pass next year. Cute little set up for a photo but otherwise just meh.

Closed for the season! No pumpkins even though the website says they are open. Very disappointing.read more

Our annual Christmas tree hunt goes not farther than Schilter Family Farm…read more The Thanksgiving week end usually slams this tree farm. However, we always find a quality Noble fir if even we have to hunt a bit. This year was REALLY unusual. The Monday after T Day we went with the idea we'd have to spend time searching. The most helpful young man pointed us to a new field of Nobles. And there, no more than 10 feet in from the path was IT (visions of Clark Griswold!). There were countless more even after that Turkey Day rush. The same man came by in his tractor and asked if he could cut it down for us. He had a chain saw. I had a hand saw. No brainer!! The service and selection are first class. Topping this off is the gift shop, where you pay, has all sorts of Christmas related things, including fresh wreaths (which we bought)

Definitely deserving of a spot in the top 10 pumpkin patches in Washington!…read more I've been going to pumpkin patches almost yearly since I was 4 so I consider myself somewhat of an expert. Here's my highs and lows and good enoughs: 5 Stars to: -Plenty of Photo setup spots -Apple cider slush sundae -FRESH & HOT Roasted Corn -Many adult AND kid friendly activities -pumpkin assortment 1 Star for: -No back up generator (Power went out while at the farm and the poor animals were huddled up closer than the people were) -flavorless burgers 2.5 stars (aka good enough) for: -cold apple cider donuts -friendly but antisocial staff -gift shop (Felt more like a very small, 'small business' fair) I think the ticket price was a decent value for what was available!

I volunteered with this sanctuary for years, sometimes nearly four days a week. Based on my…read moreexperience, as well as the experiences of many of my peers, we saw the sanctuary owner often prioritized media attention, money, and public recognition over the wellbeing and health of the animals themselves. There were countless times when multiple volunteers (sometimes six or more) agreed that an animal needed medical attention, yet those concerns were ignored and dismissed by Diane and management. This was incredibly frustrating for those of us who spent significant time directly caring for these loving animals and witnessing their day-to-day condition, to later see them suffer and pass away.

Came here for goat yoga, and it was really fun! Wish that there was a packing list issued to guests…read morebeforehand on what to bring because I thought that they offer yoga mats, but they do not unless you purchase it from them for $20. I loved that there were goats of different sizes and colors because I really did not know that can come out like that lol ... but, super duper cute time ! I will say that we could not find a bathroom nearby to wash our hands after the event, so thank gosh for the hand sanitizer in my car. I also would like if there were staff to walk around and check in on guests during the yoga session to see if they are comfortable or feel safe with the roaming goats. Parking was enough, but on the dirt road. Particularly messy for me because it was raining this entire day :(

This is for their seasonal berry stand in West Olympia…read more The first fruit of the season, strawberries, were so sweet and juicy.
