Educational Farm Tours and Visit with the Animals
Have you ever walked a sheep on a leash? At Pickle Meadows, you can take Moonpie, our sheep, on a stroll through the meadow. Come spend some time with our animals and reconnect with nature. All of the goats and sheep were bottle fed and enjoy interactions with humans. Petunia, our potbellied pig, was hand raised and loves children and belly rubs. We even have a hedgehog, Princess Buttercup, that enjoys playing on the farm.
