We want your trees!

When you're done enjoying the beauty of your Christmas trees, our sweet animals would REALLY appreciate it if you'd be so kind as drop them off right here at the farm!

Did you know that pine is one of the FAVORITE trees of all our small animals? And it has many health benefits!

You can drop them right in front of the small animal pen. It's the area right across from the house. They'll be sure to come out and then you personally and you can enjoy watching how excited they get!

What is wrong with this picture?
Answer: Nothing!

Each winter we get many calls from people concerned after seeing horses with snow on their backs. If you see snow building up on a horse’s back or rump, you are looking at proof that body heat is not escaping through the hair to melt the snow, and their coat is keeping them properly insulated. Also, the best way for a horse to stay warm is by eating! You can also see in this photo that the horse has access to a shelter, but is choosing to stay out in the snow and eat 🙂
