As its name suggests, our ‘Pet, Play & Picnic’ offers a load of fun rolled into a single package making it an especially popular event for parents and grandparents of littles!  Guests enjoy our Critter Corral petting zoo where they will have the opportunity to meet & greet a variety of animals that call the farm home. Guests also have the option to turn this encounter into a ‘Pet, Play, Pony & Picnic’ by adding discounted pony rides! Bring your snack or lunch to picnic at our covered pavilion adjacent to the playground!  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!  Wanna turn your Pet, Play & Picnic into a birthday party?  Check out our “Petting Zoo Party Package” which can be found by choosing “Birthday Parties” under the “Events” tab on the home page.
