Pumpkin Smash

Fall is our animals’ favorite season! The weather finally cools down, and the animals get to snack on delicious pumpkins in October, cranberries in November, and Christmas trees in December. It is the time of year when they look forward to something fun and exciting.
Every Sunday in October, we will have pumpkins! Animals can be fed pumpkins, or guests can donate to take a pumpkin home. They can watch as our chickens and turkeys enjoy the pumpkin seeds, our goats and sheep devour the pumpkin flesh until their noses glow orange, and the pigs will finish the rinds and run around with big pieces in their mouths. It will be pleasurable for the animals and entertaining for you to watch!
Please join us any Sunday in October for the pumpkin smash fun and while you’re here, hug the cows, cuddle the turkeys, hold the chickens, feed the horses, pat the goats and sheep, join us for lunch, and so much more! We’d love to see you!
