Our unique 3-hour “Farm Hand for a Day” experience is unlike any other experience we offer and is available to lodging guests only!!   When available, this incredible hands-on encounter has you working alongside us here on the farm and enjoying special animal encounters that only those of us that work here typically engage in.  This special 3-hour encounter is by request only and because no two days on the farm are exactly the same it’s difficult to summarize precisely what your exciting shift will have in store for you!  We can promise you that what ever you find yourselves doing, it will be focused on the daily care of the animals and they will be most appreciative of your efforts.    Examples of care might include cleaning enclosures as well as food & water dishes/buckets, grooming, bathing, socializing, training, feeding or various other tasks that our animals may need.  Our Farm Hands will also be set apart from all other guests on the farm with their “Farm Hand” shirts that they will change into upon arrival and are theirs to keep!  Working has never been SO MUCH FUN!!
