We had an eventful morning today! We found a baby deer on the road by the house on the way home. Poor fella had nowhere to go with fences on both sides. We scooped him up and called Two Hearts Wildlife Rehab Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. who were able to pick him up in a few hours and he's now on the road to recovery!

Thanks Two Hearts Wildlife Rehab Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. for everything you do for these babies!

If you have time, check out their wishlist! This is a great organization and they work hard to rehab local wildlife and reintroduce them to the wild!

Hello All!

Several people have reached out about the summer camp registration. At this time, all camps are full and we do not think we will be adding another camp with our new editions coming home at the end of July.

At this time, we are also booked for our mobile zoo through December 2024. We do still have some party dates left and will update that as soon as we can.

Thank you everyone for your patience this week while we are spending some time at the NICU with our babies. If you have messaged me this week for updates about programs, we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Hello everyone!

We have officially addd two new littles to the crew! We will be taking some time to spend with our family and new editions. Our wonderful farmhands will be managing the zoo this week, but we will not be able to return calls and messages as quickly. Please be patient with us and keep our little NICU crew in your prayers!

Thanks everyone!
