This farm is beautiful. There was all kinds of farm animals and all were very friendly. We didn’t have very much time to visit because we were going back to an event nearby. But the hour we spent there was fun! I will definitely be coming back to stay a night and experience country living and looking into detail at all the pig collection. The Sunset looked beautiful.See more..
