Take advantage of a unique opportunity…multiple customizable party packages for any age group.
Standard Farm Birthday Party Package (1 ½ hours)
Event Activities
Each birthday party group will start off with a guided tour of the farm.
Before beginning the tour, the birthday child will choose a ‘party animal’ from our selected list.
This animal will be introduced to the group during the farm tour and will be the focus of an animal discovery talk with fun and educational facts about this animal. Additionally, the party-goers will have the opportunity to meet and feed the animal.
Following the ‘animal discovery’, the group will retreat to the ‘coop’ for the final part of the 1 ½ hour celebration. Everyone will commemorate the event with the cake and refreshments provided by you.
After the celebration, if you opt to, this is the perfect time for the ‘haystack hunt’ and/or distribute other party favors.

Story Stroll Birthday Party Package (1 1/2 hours)

The party group will stroll the farm grounds:
Greeting each animal as we pass them by
Stopping at specific ‘story spots’ along the trail, where everyone will ‘read’ the featured page of a farm-themed storybook
As we meander along, meeting the various animals, the children light up becoming more and more excited as we literally stroll through the ‘pages’ of the book! The story ends when the trail ends!
Following the story stroll, the group will retreat to the ‘coop’ for the final part of the 1 ½ hour celebration. Everyone will commemorate the event with the cake and refreshments provided by you.
After the celebration, if you opt to, this is the perfect time for the ‘haystack hunt’ and/or distribute other party favors.

Party Policies
Birthday parties are scheduled, by availability, any day of the week.
A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to reserve the date and time requested. A cash or on-line deposit down payment will reserve the date immediately. Reservations paid by check are confirmed once the check clears. We accept cash, checks, and money orders.
Only if the party is canceled due to rain, the $100 deposit, will be returned.
There is a $40.00 service fee for any returned checks.
All parties must begin and end promptly at scheduled times. It is the host’s responsibility to make sure that all of your guests have directions to the farm and arrive on time.
It is recommended there be at least two adults per party. While we organize and orchestrate the party, it is up to the parents to supervise and maintain control of the group.
Many rare farm breeds live on the farm and it is imperative that all of the animals are treated with respect and courtesy.
Animals can never be fed by guests unless we have provided the food. PLEASE do not chase the chickens!
