Questions about The Farm Experience
Do we have to wear a mask?
Our tours are outside, so we do not require our guests to wear a mask. We encourage anyone who wants to wear a mask to do so 🙂
Will our guide wear a mask?
In order to ensure our animals can recognize us and hear our voice clearly, the guide(s) will not wear a mask.
What is The Farm Experience?

Horses, Cows, Goats, a mini Pony, Geese, Ducks, Turkeys, Chickens, and our cat (Pepsi) might even pay a visit 🙂

Questions about our Animals
Do you sell animals?
Yes we do! We sell registered Brown Swiss calves and registered dairy goats.
We also hatch chicks periodically throughout the year, we have Silkies, Copper Marans, Olive Eggers, and several other breeds. Feel free to call us if you are interested!
Why are dairy cows skinny?
The short answer is genetics. We raise registered Brown Swiss dairy cows, and just like all dairy cows they have been bred over time to produce more milk. As a result, their bodies are very efficient at converting the food and water they consume into milk. Conversely beef cows have been bread over time to convert what they eat into muscle and fat. That is why dairy cows are skinnier than beef cows.
What do you do with all the milk?
