Family Farmyard
Families and friends – come visit the Garrett Williamson Farm:
1st and 3rd Saturday of each month (October – May), from 10am to 12pm.
Similar to an open house, families can visit our 200+ year old Barn and observe our sheep, alpacas, horse, & goats. (Pigs welcome visitors April and May)
As an educational production Farm, we prioritize the animals’ safety & well-being. These animals give us so much and as Farmers, it is our responsibility to steward the best possible life. Visitors will be able to visit the animals from outside their pastures.
As long as the weather is safe, this outdoor event will still take place – snow, wind, & sunshine! (So please dress accordingly; layers are key!)
The cost is $7.50 per adult & child; children under 2yo are free.
A brief note about our Educational Production Farm:
We are delighted to have you join us at the Barn but please note, for the safety and well-being of the Farm Animals, entering the pastures is not permitted. There are many reasons for this, the most important being respect, biosecurity, and safety.
As farmers, we have a responsibility to steward the best possible life for each of the animals. They give us so much in return, and we strive to treat them with the utmost respect. By following these expectations, you can help us maintain a peaceful environment for the animals.
Biosecurity is a critical reason why we do not allow visitors into the pastures. We take all necessary precautions to protect the Farm Animals from any potential diseases or illnesses. Additionally, some Farm Animals may carry diseases that can be spread to humans, so it is important to maintain a safe distance.
Ensuring your safety is also paramount to us. Most of the animals weigh as much as or more than a grown adult. Some startle easily, and others love humans so much that they may get too close. Please be mindful of noise levels, hovering children, and your surroundings. If the animals initiate contact, you’re welcome to pet them. Refrain from attempting to feed the animals, as this may lead to an animal bite.
By respecting these boundaries, you can help us maintain the health and wellness of the animals, keeping this space accessible to others.
