Our family’s new favourite farm! This farm is indeed a hidden gem. We loved the “goat snuggling” so much. It’s such a heartwarming experience. All their farm animals look so healthy… not to mention very friendly around people. We will definitely be coming back. Bonus: The place is not crowded at all, given that we came on a weekend.

A literal paradise run by the kindest and friendliest farmer. I have visited the farm multiple times and just can’t wait to come back! Today we did the “Help Farmer Ruth with the Chores,” and the chores were basically just playing with all the new babies on the farm! Farmer Ruth shines with love for her animals which translates to the beautiful and well kept farm. Rest assured when you visit the farm you are supporting a local farmer that cares for her animals and her visitors. Worth every penny and every kilometre driven. Highly recommend everyone to visit to experience heaven on earth ❤️
