Families experience a HANDS-ON real farm life in motion — animals, land, learning, and connection. Get ready to start your morning with goat cuddles and bunny snuggles that are sure to warm your heart. This immersive farm tour offers a window into our working organic regenerative farm and the rhythms that shape our programs and community. Guests will walk the property together, meet our animals up close, and learn about daily animal care, pasture rotation, and seasonal farm life. Along the way, there will be hands-on feeding, discovery stations, and playful learning experiences for all ages.
✨ Special Spring Update: Our dairy goat Diva Girl is due to give birth on March 17, so we expect brand new baby goats on the farm! We have 50 chicks in the barn, and 7 Baby Bunnies! Children will also enjoy a free flow craft table, our new carpentry “Busy Board Builder” station, archery for 7 and up, and opportunities to explore the farm through hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and confidence.
All ages are welcome to join.
