Our farm animals are very friendly and love the extra attention during our guests stay. Please note, this is a working farm so we may have additional animals on the property during breeding season. We occasionally will be out in the fields working and/or taking care of the animals, but do our best to ensure privacy for guests. The animals do go into their barns at night (Locked up @ 6:30pm and let our around 8 am). Please note, the animals are protected by our female Great Pyrenees, Shrimp. Even though all animals are very friendly and used to kids, they are still animals and guests should read thoroughly through our manual to find further information.
