This is a cute little farm where you will get to interact with a lot of baby goats. I brought my two-years-old to attend their Fables on the Farm on Wednesday morning, the website with class schedule and FAQs is very helpful, they are very popular though so make sure you look up and make an appointment a few weeks ahead for the class you want (they have limited spots and they do sell out rather quickly). They also offer private event which I sent an email to ask for some details and Linda was very fast in responding to my emails as well as very helpful in making suggestions.
Their parking lot is pretty small, so I’d suggest to go a bit early for the ease of parking. We were greeted before it was time to open the gate, they opened the gate about 20 minutes prior to the event so we were able to walk around and take a lot of photos with our little ones before the event begun. Noted this is a small farm so there’s only chicken, pigs, and goats; with that being said, everything is very well maintained and their photo set ups are really cute as well. There were also some ant hills on the farm so beware of them while letting your little ones ran wild.
The Fables on the Farm event began with a story book, then followed by feeding the baby goats. The baby goats are super adorable and the workers there are very friendly (they actively made sure every kid there is talked to and given leaves to feed the baby goats). That is really not a easy thing to do in the middle of lots of kids and baby goats = chaos. At one point my toddler felt so comfortable that he went and raised his arms toward farmer Zach wanted him to hold him, which he never did to a stranger. They also provided baby wipes along with surface sanitizer and hand sanitizer which were much needed. The baby goats were doing their #1/#2 businesses while getting fed, and the toddlers don’t really mind but parents like me do (so these cleaning essentials are very appreciated).
They also have a table for lemonade and selling some farm goods by the front gate, we definitely wanted to try their egg next time since we weren’t able to purchase any by not bring a cooler and had to go to lunch after the event.
Other than being small, this farm really has everything that will allow your family to make lasting valuable...
Read moreI highly recommend spending some time with Linda and Rick at Wildflower Farm in Orlando. As an animal lover and someone who enjoys yoga, this seemed the perfect gift for me from my husband. As a Christmas gift, I was given a birthday party at Wildflower Farm for a private goat yoga party. I invited 6 of my friends to go with me. All of us are retired with various degrees of experience with yoga. 3 guests had zero yoga experience. We were informed ahead of time that we could just play with the goats if we didn't want to participate in the yoga part. Here is how the event went...
We were welcomed a few minutes early to set out snacks. The farm had tables set up and homemade lemonade that was amazing! (I would love the recipe). They took our yoga mats as we arrived and set them up under a shaded area. Mats were available if anyone didn't have one.
We could see the pen full of baby goats. Words can't describe the cuteness of these little ones! Once everyone arrived and mats were ready, we were given bottles of milk and they released the babies who knew exactly what to do. They took of running for lunch. All of my guests fed the babies then it was time for yoga.
The farm brought in a wonderful instructor who had to have a ton of patience. We went through some simple poses while the baby goats got exercise climbing on us and even jumping from one of our backs to the next. It's the most I ever laughed during yoga. Our yoga may have lacked good yoga because we all wanted to take the time to pet and love on the baby goats.
Once the yoga session was over, we all helped the babies back to their pen.
We then went on a tour and met the rest of the animals. The goat parents, chickens, pigs, turkeys....we all asked lots of questions about all the animals. The team at the farm are incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and their social behavior. Seems they really love what they do.
We were then given some time for pictures around the farm and an opportunity to purchase souvenirs. I got a coffee mug.
The event was well structured. We were guided through each step and educated throughout the time.
All of us had so much fun! Highly recommend for anyone that's wants to hang out with baby goats. Yoga experience definitely...
Read moreThis was an AWESOME experience. When we first arrived I didn't know what to expect because it was taking me down a subdvision when in my head when i heard farm, i was expecting to go out in the country and go down a long dirt road to all this land with animals.
When i first pulled up there was people directing me into their parking section in their side lawn separated by these skinny poles. I was at that moment a little let down and wasn't expecting much.
Everything changed as soon as i went in. The people there were VERY nice and friendly. Genuinely good people who want you to have a good experience and find joy in sharing the goats with you. The price is way more than reasonable especially compared to other places.
The set up they have allows you to do the goat yoga no matter the weather and they try and make sure everyone gets their fair share experience with the goats. We were lucky and got the smallest/youngest goat Bell or Bella and ran straight to us right out the gate which I might add was probably the best part is when they open the gate and the goats all run to you. It is hilarious and adorable.
I ended up leaving with a complete different mindset than when i arrived. I wanted my own place just like it. They had a farm set up in the back with pigs, chickens, roosters, turkeys etc. (The pigs are usually always my favorite).
Highly recommend this place and...
