Animal Encounters and Open Play

Date: Saturday, Aug 1

Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Venue: The Feathered Farm, Zebulon

Price: Free

Category: Family

Bring the family and enjoy the day with the farm animals! We will interact with various animals one at a time before moving on to the next. Feed the chickens. Meet Milkshake the Steer and Jojo the cow and enjoy their tongue licks! Jorge and Abe, our mischievous donkeys will "hee-haw" their way into your heart! Peanut Butter and S’more along with the other adult Nigerian Dwarf goats will be eager for your attention too. Step into the big red barn. What do you hear? What do you see? Peppa the mini potbelly pig loves the treats she gets from friends. Groom our Shetland pony, Gus, and feel his soft coat. Time to play with the young goat and snuggle with a bunny before you head out! Gem Mining and craft creations are also an option. Enjoy the day on the farm. Play with family and new friends on the playground. Advance purchase tickets are suggested for all attending. Explore the grounds and see who all lives there at your own pace, or follow the group for a personal experience! Get up close and personal with our farm friends as you feed the chickens, cows, donkeys, goats and pigs or cozy up to Gus the Shetland pony for some quality grooming time. Arrive any time after opening! Feed for the animals are included. Gem mining, crafts, and food from food trucks are available for additional cost.
