(Note that the animals live their lives on 11+ acres, and might not be hanging out in the viewing area.)

Retail customers can also drop in during their pick-up, no charge.
Animal Feeding: Enhance your visit by bringing some quarters and toonies for our vending machine, which dispenses grain for the farm animals. Offering a treat is a great way to encourage the animals and poultry to come closer and interact with you.
