You will also have the option below to add pony rides, therefore upgrading your ‘Pet, Play & Picnic’ into a ‘Pony, Pet, Play & Picnic’!!  Following your petting zoo encounter you will have time to enjoy our playground and picnic area complete with a covered pavilion!  Feel free to bring your packed snack or lunch from home and picnic here on the farm!  This event is also extremely popular with mom groups as well as homeschool co-ops so be sure to share the link and make a plan to meet all your friends here on the farm!
