Event Description

Join us for an intimate, semi-private visit with our beloved miniature Highland cows—each carefully selected for their rare coloring, luxurious coats, and champion bloodlines. This unique 1.5-hour experience is designed to offer guests a serene, immersive connection with our animals, our land, and each other.

Your visit begins in our beautifully appointed luxury mini home, where you’ll enjoy curated refreshments with views of our tranquil pond and the cow pen. For 30 minutes, you’ll have uninterrupted time inside the pen to meet, pamper, and bond with our cows—followed by an hour of leisure time to relax, enjoy the scenery, and savor food and drinks either indoors or outdoors.

Rain or shine, this experience goes on—our cows love both sun and showers!

Important Information

  • Check in 15 minutes before your scheduled visit.

  • Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

  • This experience is best suited for calm, respectful participants. For safety reasons, we do not recommend it for very young or highly active children.

  • Due to uneven terrain, strollers and wheelchairs are not advised. Guests should be comfortable walking short distances on natural ground.

  • Liability waiver must be signed in order to go into the cow pen for the visitation.

Our Commitment to Animal Welfare

Our cows are at the heart of everything we do, and their well-being comes first. We host only three sessions a week to protect their routine and reduce stress. There may be times when certain cows sit out the experience for rest or care—your understanding is deeply appreciated.

To protect the herd:

  • All guests must sanitize footwear and wash hands before entering the pen.

  • Please do not bring any outside food for the animals.

  • Children 3 and under must be held during pen visits; those ages 3 to 6 must be closely supervised.

  • This is a smoke- and vape-free property—strong scents can upset our animals.

  • Appropriate footwear is required – steel toed boots is recommended

  • Dress comfortably and expect a bit of slobber and farm mud! Raincoats and shoe covers are available for purchase.

Our cows are curious, gentle, and intelligent, but like all animals, they need time to get comfortable with new friends. Please remain calm, quiet, and respectful around them. No yelling, chasing, or unattended children. Guests who do not follow our farm rules may be asked to enjoy the remainder of their visit from the mini home.


Cancellation Policy

Because we limit our group sizes to ensure a high-quality experience, last-minute cancellations are difficult to accommodate:

  • Full refund if we must cancel due to unforeseen circumstances or the customer cancels more than 5 days prior to the experience.

  • 75% refund for cancellations made less than 5 days in advance

  • No refunds for cancellations made within 48 hours or for no-shows


Come ready to relax, connect, and experience the peaceful magic of our miniature Highland cows in a setting that’s as special as they are.
