| - What a cool place to visit with (or without) kids. We drove by The Farm and hubby and I stopped in because I knew they sold eggs here. We were not expecting to have an experience. This place is incredibility eclectic and inviting. If you are drawn to the hippie esthetic, come by with your camera and snap a few pics. There are chickens meandering around the property and little ones can interact with the animals on site.
There is no strict organization to The Farm. And I love that. Yes, there are different areas to walk through, but it feels like the [lace has grown in the decades it has been in the location. Each area feels like its own special space.
1) There is the chicken coop area where chickens and bunnies are housed
2) There is the general caged area where goats and peacocks and roosters and a myriad of other animals are housed
3) And there is the large animal viewing area where the horses, emus, hogs, and more are housed
Plus there is a large shaded seating area for those of us with weary bones.
They also sell fresh eggs, apple cider, vegetables, and baked goods.
This place is so laid back and easy. It just doesn't feel like Vegas to me. The best part of the visit was seeing the large Peacock, Mr. Something (I forgot this gal's name). We listened as the owner was feeding the hog and sharing some of the peacock's history with a group of children. This peacock was raised by a little girl an is comfortable being close to people. The little ones were beside themselves with glee at getting a chance to see (and feed) the beautiful bird.
Bring $40 for snacks and such and make sure you have two hours to kill. This is not a place to rush. With an honor system $1 entry fee, there are not many places in town where you can see so much for so little.
