Our animals
the charm of our farm
Sammy
The Donkey
Our big man on campus, meet Sammy! He was donated to our farm when he was just a young foal and now he is turning 30. But don't let his age fool you, he has big teeth and plenty of spunk - and the whole barnyard knows who is boss when it's food time.
Staple Foods: Hay & Grass
Favorite Treats: Apples, Oats & Carrots
Poppy
The Goat
The leader of the goats, Poppy is our most boisterous animal in the barnyard. She is very bossy but very social and can often be found hanging around by the fence waiting for the children to offer some treats.

fern
The Goat
The sweetest goat on our farm, Fern is more on the shy and quiet side. When she is not out roaming the pasture, she can often be found hanging around near her buddy and protector, Sammy the Donkey.
