ABOUT US
From Our Family To Yours
Born as a simple straw maze, our three generational family farm has grown into a cherished destination where families can explore and immerse themselves in the wonders of farm life.
Animal Days promises discovery, connection, and the simple pleasures of life on the farm – it’s laughter of children making furry friends, shared excitement of families exploring, and our dedication behind sustainable farming.
Our mission is to create a space where fun and learning go hand in hand.
Step into the daily rhythms of farm life and come away with not only moments of joy, but a meaningful understanding of farming’s impact on our world.
Join us for an unforgettable experience that bridges the gap between farm and table, heart and soil – from our family to yours, for over 15 years.
