We had quite the surprise two weeks ago. Penelope, our yak, gave birth to this tiny little guy. We had made the decision last August to place our highland bull with another facility so that we didn’t have any accidental babies….. so, meet Stormy. He was born during that storm that rolled through and put us into lockdown mode on May 27th.
Penelope isn’t producing enough milk so we are supplementing with a bottle and formula twice a day, but he is staying with mom and is able to suckle throughout the day. If you see our staff bottle feeding, make sure to say hi.

Floating in a pool with otters should definitely be on your bucket list. The first three months of 2027 dates will be live this week.

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

We are thrilled to officially announce the arrival of one of the rarest species ever to join our farm: Giant Red-and-White Flying Squirrels! Their species name is Petaurista alborufus.

These breathtaking animals are among the largest flying squirrels in the world and are exceptionally uncommon in zoological collections. Very few facilities in North America have the privilege of working with this species, making this a truly special milestone for us.

Their incredible coloration, impressive size, and ability to glide through the forest canopy make them one of the most unique mammals on the planet. To say we're honored to care for them would be an understatement.

For those of you who have participated in our VIP encounters over the past several months, you may already have had the chance to meet these remarkable animals before today's official announcement. Thank you for helping us welcome them as they settled into their new home and for being part of this exciting chapter.

Every once in a while, an opportunity comes along that reminds us just how fortunate we are to do what we do. Being entrusted with the care of such a rare and extraordinary species is one of those moments, and we are incredibly grateful.
We look forward to sharing more photos, videos, and educational opportunities featuring these amazing squirrels in the future.

Welcome to the family, Giant Red-and-White Flying Squirrels!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out over the weekend! We are calling it a night 😴🦦

We introduced Tripp earlier this week as one of our newest fox residents, because we actually have four new foxes calling us home.

Copper and Wilder joined us the same day as Tripp and came from the same facility. Just a few days later we were contacted to see if we could take in another surrender, whom we have named Everest.

Copper, Everest, and Wilder will be joining our fox encounters this fall (if not sooner). For now, they will be inside with us and training for their new roles as ambassadors.
