MEET THE BARN BABIES!
Saturday, April 5, 2025
AN EVENT FOR THE whole FAMILY
welcome 2025’s lambs and kids!
Can you see triplets? Gladiolus and her 2025 kids
Goat kids and lambs are coming! At this moment (March 20), some of the mamas are as wide as they are tall!
Reserve your family’s start time using the green button.
Visit times begin at 1 pm. Plan on staying 30-60 minutes.
You and your children will be able to feed and pet the mamas, and touch lambs and kids.
Pigfishing will be available. Put corn on the end of a fishing pole and let the fun begin!
We also have friendly farm dogs
who would appreciate their share of love!
Gentle pettable rabbits, plus 5 barn cats. Ducks and chickens always looking for a handout!
This event takes place rain or shine.
Dress warmly as it’s colder on the farm than in town, and be sure to wear your rubber muck boots — the barnyard can be muddy at this time of year.
We guarantee you will go home dirtier than when you came!
