It is with great sadness, we will be closing our doors on December 1st 2024. We want to thank our family, friends, community, schools and all our wonderful neighbors who supported us over the past 3+ amazing years. We also want to thank our wonderful volunteers and barn help. We truly couldn't have done it without you! We are thankful for the amazing animals we have been able to care for and love. For us, the petting zoo was much more than a business, it was a gift. A gift to help children and adults learn about farm animals in a hands on way. A gift to see the joy in the eyes of little ones when they held or fed farm animals for the first time. And what a gift that was! Although we are not able to continue, we hope the experiences are carried in the hearts of our customers, just as we carry them in our hearts too. So, thank you for your support, love and sharing experiences with us!

We have so many photos to post, we will be making multiple post as we close this chapter of our lives. Thanks again!
