💬 What Visitors Say
- Bring a packed lunch or snacks since there's no concession stand on site. The picnic pavilion is a great spot to enjoy food while overlooking the farm.
- If visiting with someone using a wheelchair, bring your own vehicle for touring the grounds instead of relying on wagon rides, which aren't wheelchair accessible. Staff will work with you to ensure an inclusive experience.
- Engage the Amish family owners and staff in conversation—they have fascinating stories about the animals, including unique animals like the zorse and zedonk. This turns the visit into a richer educational experience.
- Plan to spend time on both the wagon ride (where you can feed animals in the fields) and the petting zoo area to maximize your interaction with the diverse range of animals on the farm.
- The farm is excellent for celebrating children's birthdays or small group events with the pavilion available. The animals are exceptionally well-cared for and pony cart rides are gentle enough even for young toddlers.
