🐐 Thank You for Another Wonderful Season! 🐐
The gates are closed, and the animals are settling in for winter. We often get asked what happens to the animals in the colder months and how we keep them warm ⬇️scroll down to read all about it!
As a reminder, the Farm still needs your support throughout the winter. We’ll be announcing our sponsorship program soon, but in the meantime, donations can always be made through our website. ❤️
Your generosity helps us care for all our special animals, keeping them cozy, happy, and well-fed all winter long. Thank you for being part of our farm family!
? Commonly asked questions?
Where do the animals go when the farm is closed?
All of our animals actually stay right here at the Farm all winter! Our dedicated staff work 365 days a year (yes, even on Christmas) to make sure the animals have everything they need.
How do the animals keep warm in the winter?
We take special care to keep all of our animals safe, warm, and comfortable during the winter months. In our aviary and guinea pig buildings, heat pumps keep these more delicate friends cozy. The pigs get extra bedding to curl up in, along with their very own heat lamp. Our elderly donkeys wear heavy winter blankets on chilly days, and both the donkeys and alpacas enjoy a heated mash to warm their bellies. The hardy goats grow their own thick winter coats that keep them warm, they always have access to their barn to stay out of the wind or rain and they love to snuggle up close together. All our animals have continuous access to fresh, unfrozen water, lots of food, soft bedding, and safe, sheltered spaces inside a barn.
