It's exactly what they call it, a "little farm" but perfect for the toddlers and younger kids!…read more We wanted to get the kids out of the house and do something that didn't require spending a lot of money and what better then free? It took us 30 minutes to wrap around the whole farm, we visited previously with my son's school on a field trip and it did seem like there were less animals. Same kinds, just less in general. The cows were being washed by what I think were volunteers (younger kids) so my kids didn't really get to see them up close which was the part they were most excited about so it was a bit of a bummer. The goats were uninterested so brushing wasn't an option since they were so far back Chickens and bunnies mind their own business but super cute to look at. Overall, the animals don't seem to care much about the people and keep their distance OR we happen to come on a bad day and they were overwhelmed with all the volunteers (I sure was) I check the website so I totally knew and understand about feeding the animals not being a thing anymore (so I don't get how people blame the farm when it's a quick search to check) BUT they should consider closing or posting a notice when having younger volunteers at the farm learning and taking up all the space and animals. We genuinely didn't get to enjoy them at all because the kids inside the enclosure with them keeping them farther away or just busy in general. Well possibly come back again before summer is up and hope the animals are a bit more active/social lol

I absolutely love this farm!…read more I went for the first time at the beginning of the summer, and I've been back two more times since then! It's a great place to go with your kids, by yourself, or for small meetups. One of the reasons I enjoy this farm is that it's FREE, including parking. We were a bit bummed when we went as a group and saw that feeding the animals is no longer an option, but that information is posted on the website, so I'm not going to fault them for something we didn't double-check. You can brush the goats, so if you're hoping for your little ones to have a close interaction, that's always an option. It's a small farm, so you can walk through it pretty quickly, but there's so much space surrounding the farm that I would honestly plan to bring a blanket if the weather permits and have a picnic. They also have a park, and I would recommend checking out the building. I can't remember the name... I think it's the Nature Area? But they have some cool stuff inside.
