Passengers will get right in the middle of our cow/calf operation, learning where “Pasture to Plate” originated from. Everyone will feed our cattle as the herd makes their way around the wagon. The petting zoo visit allows guests to feed and interact with goats, sheep, and various deer while the driver gives interesting facts.
