Hay day was a huge success 120 bales unloaded, stacked, and in the barn in less than 30 minutes!! New record for us! This should be our last hay day before Brooke’s baby makes his arrival so we are so happy to be stocked up! We can’t thank those that showed up enough!!

For anyone concerned about this….YES, we vaccinate our animals for rabies according to vet recommendations and scheduling! If you have any questions or concerns about this or any other health issues, just ask!

🐐 Petting Zoo Safety Matters!

Petting zoos and animal exhibits are a great way to learn about and interact with animals, but they can also pose health risks.

Following recent rabies exposures involving goats, NC health and agriculture officials are reminding petting zoo operators about important animal health and public safety recommendations - including rabies vaccination for animals that have public contact and keeping animals that have been exposed to rabies out of public settings.

We also want to give a HUGE shoutout to Destynee, our amazing instructor! 💕 She has been out there running the program, teaching lessons, and stepping up to help in every way possible while Brooke is away on vacation and maternity leave.
We truly have the BEST crew around, and we are so grateful for everyone who goes above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly! 🥰🙌
Thank you, Destynee, for all that you do! 💗
