Ages: All ages welcome. (tickets need to be bought for anyone who can or will be walking, babies under 1 are free) 

**Parents please stay with your child(ren): We do ask that all ages are respectful to our property, the animals, and other visitors (i.e. chasing, yelling, running, etc. are NOT allowed)**

*This is a smaller homestead not a big open property or field, and our animals are used to calm. The birds are also free roaming.

*If you have a child who has trouble respecting boundaries or is unable to remain relatively calm, please reach out to us by email to work out another way to visit or get suggestions of farms that have more space for higher energy needs. 

Thank you for your understanding :)
