Where do I park?
Where does the wagon ride take you and how long is it?
You'll see signs for the pickup area and the wagon will take you around the property to view the animals grazing in the pasture and you'll go by our Community Gardens as well. Then the wagon will bring you back to the same pick-up area. The ride takes approximately 15 minutes total. Wagon rides are included with your
entry fee.
Do you sell pumpkins?
What type of clothing should I wear?
All Michiganders know our weather is ever-changing, so please dress for the forecast. Wear comfortable, casual clothing with sturdy walking shoes or sneakers for walking on dirt trails. If the forecast calls for rain, just grab your raingear and boots and still plan on coming out. You may want to wear boots or old shoes if it has rained recently as the grounds may be a little wet.

What kind of animals will we be able to visit?
The barns will be open for guests to walk through to visit our animals. We have goats, ponies, horses, sheep, a llama, pigs, rabbit and poultry. When you're on the wagon ride, you'll most likely see horses, goat and sheep grazing in the pasture. Feel free to pet the animals and ask the staff lots of questions! We just ask that you do not feed the animals anything. They're on a strict farm diet :)
