💡Pro Tips from Reviews

  • Bring hand sanitizer or wipes for use after interacting with animals.
  • For directions, pay close attention: turn onto Olde Farm Road *before* reaching any gated community, as GPS can be inaccurate.
  • If you get lost, contact the owner (Danielle) directly, as she is very helpful with guidance.
  • Consider visiting on 'Toddler Tuesday' for a specific toddler-friendly experience.

Things to Consider

  • The farm can be 'a bit hidden,' with GPS directions sometimes leading to a gated community instead of the actual entrance.
  • Reliance on GPS for directions can be misleading, requiring visitors to turn on Olde Farm Rd *before* a gated community.

Loved this little farm! We came here for a birthday party and had a great time! I’ve been a resident in the area for several years and had no idea this was here, it’s a bit hidden, but I’m so glad we got to check it out. The guide we had for the party was sweet, hilarious, and really great with the kids. The animals were friendly, they had a decent variety. All of the kids had a great time!

We visited the farm on Toddler Tuesday and had the best time! The staff members were very helpful and friendly. Our 18 month old daughter loved being able to pet all of the animals. There were lots of animals to see. Dogs, goats, horses, birds, sheep and many more. They also offer feedings for some of the animals. The baby goats followed us around and were so cute! Along with that we were able to do a horseback ride! That was the icing on the cake. On the way to the farm we got a bit lost, and were able to contact Danielle the owner who was very helpful with getting us there. She was great with providing information about the farm and was very responsive. We are visiting from North Carolina, but wish we were closer so that we could visit more often. Thank you to everyone who helped us today.

Went for my grandsons birthday. The kids really enjoyed all the animals and got to ride a horse. Tip- bring hand sanitizer or wipes. Directions took me to gated community, turn on Olde Farm Rd before that.
