The farm is open to visitors on Wednesdays, Fridays and one day each weekend. Below, where it states, ‘Visit the Farm’, we are open to visitors, and you can request a tour by phone. Any date where it does not state “Visit the Farm” the farm is not open to visitors. In some cases, our animals may be at an off-site event, which you can visit without reservations.
