The Farm Store and Museum

If you are looking for a unique gift with a farm flare, The Farm Store is the place to shop. Our shelves are stocked with country crafts, farm toys and novelties. The Farm Store is open during regular facility hours.

Take a walk through yesteryear's farm era. Various displays depict farming from the turn of the century to the early 1900s. Guess what the mystery item is and how it was used. Then test your "farm strength" by lifting a bale of hay with or without the aid of a pulley system. The Farm Museum is open during regular facility hours.

Rentals

Rent The Farm for a birthday or just for the fun of it!

Adopt An Animal

Anyone can adopt an animal at The Farm and become its "parent!"

As an adoptive parent, you are helping to provide for the food and care of "your" animal. Of course, your adopted animal stays at The Farm where it is cared for by farm staff.

It's easy to adopt!
Choose your favorite farm animal and adopt it for a year by making a tax-deductible donation. A farm "parent" received an adoption certificate, his/her name listed at The Farm and a poster as a thank you, because we do appreciate your support.

Please note: For all practical purposes, some of the animals are sold when they reach maturity.
