RUSTED GATES MINIATURE FAINTING GOATS & OTHER CRITTERS

We are a small hobby farm with a variety of critters. We are offering family farm tours over this Memorial weekend with a few time slots available as well as ongoing tours throughout the summer and fall. Our focus is on nurturing and showing our Miniature Silky Fainting goats as pets/show/breeding. As a matter of fact, we have gained National Recognition when showing in states as far away as Texas or Indiana, VA, MI, OH, MD and PA. In addition to goats, we have various breeds of chickens, bunnies, exotic pigeons, ducks, ponies, a miniature donkey named Festus and a guard dog named Karaka. We are offering a fun, farm, hands on experience/tour of about two hours for your family up to 5-6 kids for a donation of $50 by appointment, so we can give you our undivided attention.

Another option for your child is our birthday parties lasting 2-3 hours where we add several other activities like a pony ride. We try to gear a birthday celebration towards a child's likes. We even have an area where you can bring your own food, cakes etc. Please IM for more information to 717-422-7007 during daylight hours please. I'll get back to you as soon as I can in between the care of all the critters. If you haven’t heard back please call. Looking forward to seeing you at The Rusted Gates Farm.
