Dan and Prince pulling our hayride! Such a fun activity for the entire family!

As a reminder. Thank you!

Our previously offered complimentary pony rides are no longer available to the public. Due to overwhelming and hostile demands made by the public for a free service we provided, management had to make the difficult decision in ending the service. They are also not offered for private events or kids birthday parties.

We made this transition in May of 2022.

Pony rides are available during October for the pumpkin patch ONLY!

Our large walk-in petting zoo and various yard games are still free and available for the public to enjoy during business hours. Please be sure to call in advance to ensure we are open.

Thank you for your understanding.
