For larger events, we can sometimes provide a second pony or a horse.
The Friendly Farmyard petting zoo consists of chickens, two bunnies, ducks, and twin goats. Our friendly menagerie is handled by us directly and guests are allowed to both pet and feed our animals. Our goats even walk on leashes! This is an interactive session that is fun and exciting and we welcome questions and comments from all! Do you have a favorite animal? Just ask us and we might be able to bring it to you!
You may choose the pony plus petting zoo option for two hours, or either the pony rides only or petting zoo only for an hour and a half. We do not typically offer one hour events.

We bring two 10x10 tents for the petting zoo animals. We can also set up in an indoor area such as a garage. We will do our best to adjust the start time of your event around weather conditions if possible. In the event that the weather is dangerous, we can reschedule for another mutually agreeable date.

Always the star of the show, our beautiful and impeccably dressed girl is super sweet and ready to ride! Word on the street is that she sometimes is a magical unicorn for that very special birthday child! She loves her treats and poses patiently for photos!
Our twin boy and girl goats can't be more adorable or loving than these two, who love pets, treats and exploring their surroundings! They bring a smile everywhere they go, especially when they walk on leashes!
These two sisters sadly have crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge so we are not bringing sheep at this time.
Dunkin and Donut are quite a couple and love their peas, their baths, and basking in the sunshine! They are happy to accept treats out of your hand and Donut especially loves to be held!
We have four chickens that are very friendly and sweet so we named them after candy! Tootsie and Buttercup will often lay eggs right in front of you! They will also fall asleep in your arms if you have the right touch. Cinnamon and Sugar were hatched from eggs and love attention!
Buddy, our Harlequin bunny, and Oliver, our lop bunny are ready to meet you and eat a carrot or two! Buddy likes to hide in the hay piles and lounge in the sun. Oliver is a stuffed animal come to life and loves to be held and scratched on the head!
Our beautiful Appleyard duck can be seen spending time with Dunkin' & Donut will do almost anything for peas! He is very sweet and curious and will gently rest his head on your open hand. His striking green head and colorful feathers are amazing to see up close!

There's quite a story behind these two, as Poppy got loose from a garden center and was running on her own for two weeks! We brought her sister Lily and were able to catch her. In an ironic twist of fate, Lily turned out to be very sick and in need of of immediate vet care, so Poppy's rescue actually saved Lily's life! These two are not available for events, as we realized they would be best not being around crowds. They are now relaxing on a farm in Chester.
Our sweet Mocha was hatched by us in 2020 and is a Rouen duck. All she knows is love and kindness and is happy to eat peas or worms right from your hand! Her pastimes are splashing in muddy puddles and sunbathing.
