Molasses crossed the rainbow bridge today 🌈

She definitely lived up to her name being as sweet as can be ♥️ Over the past decade and a half, she has given us beautiful babies, attended church events for Christmas festivals, and provided so many snuggles at the farm.

Our hearts are heavy today but we're grateful that her long healthy life was spent with us 🫶🏻 Hug all your fur babies for us today! They just don't live long enough do they? 😭

Hank had a successful visit at WSU's vet clinic!

Everything is fine, we just wanted to do a general check up for him. His physical screening, f***l, and bloodwork all came back great! Also we found out Mr. Hank is a little older than we've thought previously.

Being WSU alumni, owners Logan and Megan always love heading back over to Pullman. Plus Hank gets to visit one of the top veterinary schools in the country!

☀️SUMMER WEATHER COMING OUR WAY☀️

Summer is coming at us at full force in the next few weeks! Just a reminder that fishing gets really tough in the warmer months. We highly suggest stopping at the gas station across the street and picking up some night crawlers. We can't always guarantee we'll have some on hand. We continue to stock on a weekly basis but the fishing slows down quite a bit in this weather. As always though, you only pay for what you catch!

PONY RIDES will be CLOSED this Thursday (the 20th) and Friday (the 21st) due to heat. The older our ponies get the more the heat affects them. The health and safety of our animals and staff come first. We try our best to notify ahead of time via Facebook, website, phone calls, etc when pony rides aren't operating. There may be a few random days throughout the summer where the pony isn't doing well and we may put pony rides on hold. There will always be a pony up in the barn for pets and feeding.

Thursday-Sunday (10am-6pm)
*The barn and veggie buckets close at 5pm*

Admission: $12 (anyone 3+)
Each fish caught: $6 (no catch & release)
Pole rentals: $3 (or bring your own!)
Veggie buckets: $3

P.S. Look at this awesome 3.5 pounder pulled today!

06/29/2023

Pony Rides are CLOSED this Saturday (July 1st) and Sunday (July 2nd) due to possible fireworks going off. Although our ponies are pretty kid proof, any random fireworks spook them and making riding unsafe. It is not worth the risk for your little ones. A pony will still be in the barn for pets and feeding!

Hope everyone has a fun a safe 4th ❤️🤍💙

🐟 FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND FISH 🐟

To celebrate Father's Day we will be raffling off 4 Bass Pro gift cards and farm shirts. All visiting fathers this weekend will be entered!

☀️ MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND ☀️

As you've all seen, we are getting a mini heat wave this coming weekend. PONY RIDES ARE TBD. The health and safety of our animals and staff come first. Please remember our ponies are old and we will be monitoring them all throughout the weekend. Most likely they will not be operating on sunday. Saturday is a strong 'maybe'. If your kiddo has ridden before or is on the fence, please consider riding during a cooler weekend.

Ponds will be freshly stocked as always. Trout fishing can get tricky once the weather warms up. We highly reccomend stopping at the gas station across the street and picking up some worms! Sometimes live bait can help your chances when the sun comes out.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend! ☀️
