We want to thank everyone for their support in our 2024 season! We have raised enough money to cover all of the farm animals expenses through the winter and will continue to expand in 2025!

We are now closed for the season, aside from our annual Christmas party in December - stay tuned for dates and details!

10/25/2024

Sorry folks, we have had some difficulty in claiming ownership of our business information through Google. This has been an ongoing issue, and somehow our hours when you Google us keeps randomly changing. We often have customers show up assuming we are open when we are not, which is hard on everyone as we truly feel so bad when people make the trip over and are disappointed, but our little farm is also our home and we need our privacy sometimes as well.

We will always make a post on this page if we are open to the public. Usually, we try to open on Saturdays from 12-4pm from roughly Easter until Halloween, but those hours are weather dependent. Sometimes we switch to Sunday if it's the better weather day, and some weekends we may have other commitments. Be sure to follow us and you'll always know when to visit!

The petting zoo will be open Saturday, September 28th from 12-4pm!

Admission $5, animal treat bags $5, pony rides (1-3pm) $5

All proceeds go back to the animals!

Did you know we have started selling some fresh produce (very small scale for now lol), It looks like we have some of our pumpkins ready for sale as well 🎃

Hope to see you there 🐑

Just a heads up, the petting zoo will be CLOSED this weekend, as we are attending a horse show!

Be sure to head over to the North Sydney exhibition grounds to watch some of the CBWR show, it is free to watch! You can also catch some harness racing and the CB farmers market on site tomorrow.

Our little girl Erin will be competing in the show for her first time on Lilly (yes, Lilly from pony rides). Do you like Lilly's horse show jammies?

Keep your fingers crossed the rain sticks to Saturday, we are hosting our back to school event on Sunday, rain or shine!!!

EDIT: New date, this event will be held Sunday, September 8th, rain or shine!!

🐮🐷🐴🦄🐂🐖🐑🐓🐎🪿🦆🦚🐔🦃🐐🐇🐰

We will be having a back to school event Sunday September 8th, from 12-4pm!!! Admission is only $5 per person, with FREE entry for children under 2 years of age! ALL proceeds go back to the animal's care.

*Pony rides 🏇🏼 will be $5 per ride, from 1-3pm only*

There will be a BBQ canteen and baked goods 😋

We will have a FREE draw for a Back to School prize basket 🧺

There are a few things you may want to know:

- We are cash only at this time.

- NO SMOKING 🚭

- We do not allow outside food to be fed to the animals. We will have variety treat bags for sale for $5 for those of you who would like to safely feed our animals 🥕

- Please leave your own pets at home. We do have some free range animals, and even if your pet is usually friendly, some of ours may feel territorial 🐕‍🦺

- All of our animals are tame and friendly, but they are still animals. Please keep close watch on your children, as an animal may easily mistake their fingers 🩹 for food if they are too close to their mouth

- All children must be supervised by an adult 👀

- Strollers are permitted, but keep in mind that access to the animals requires walking through our outdoor riding arena which is deep sand, and may be hard to push through. For this reason, closed footwear 👢 is also suggested.

We are sad that the summer break is over, but we always have a blast when we have an excuse to host an event day on the farm! Hope to see you there!
