💬 What Visitors Say
- Arrive early and plan to spend 4+ hours - the 20+ acre farm with multiple activity zones (fishing ponds, animal feeding, trails, barn) offers enough to fill a full day visit. Start with fishing or barn activities since they close at 5pm while the venue stays open until 6pm.
- Bring your own fishing gear and worms to save money - rod/bait rental is $4, but you can catch trout immediately with personal equipment. Fish cleaning is only $0.50 per trout, making this a budget-friendly activity.
- Purchase veggie buckets ($4 each) early in your visit - the free-roaming goats are food-motivated and highly interactive when you have buckets, but this activity closes at 5pm. Staff recommends having buckets before the evening closure.
- For birthday parties or group events, the party barn is highly praised for cleanliness, staff attentiveness, and the unique feature of animals roaming freely through party areas - combine it with the scavenger hunt in the woods for a full educational experience that keeps teenagers engaged.
- Visit Friday-Sunday when the farm is open (10am-6pm only) - staff are described as exceptionally responsive and helpful with any situation, so expect excellent customer service even during busy times.
