The farmer is great and very personable. He has always been beyond welcoming of people of all lifestyles. I had never seen anyone love his animals the way that Al does! Great family fun for any animal lovers regardless of wether you have children with you or not!!!

I went to this petting zoo 6-3-17 and will never be going back! I was called sweetie and honey several times by the owner, as well as him telling my kids not to listen to me when I told him I didn't eat meat (one of my sons is also pescatarian like me), and how his pigs will be made into sausage and bacon someday and that cows are steak. He said god put them here for us, so I shared my opinion. He told my kids not to let me brainwash them. He said he respected my opinion, but the entire rest of the tour he belittled my choices and lack of belief. I said a few different times that I didn't want to argue and that we'd just have to agree to disagree. It was ridiculous. So at the end I was just trying to get out of there, but he kept being very rude and called me sweetie again while being condescending. He was touching me while we were trying to leave. He put his hand on my shoulder as he was telling me he was right. It was so creepy. My kids even pointed out how he touched me more than once during the day, and all the "sweeties" that I got. There were a couple with their two very small girls there at first when we first arrived. He would be talking to them, and we were nearby and he would tease me by making comments about how I believed differently than him, when I wasn't even involved with them at that moment, just trying to enjoy the visit with my children. I shouldn't have even paid for tour due to this treatment. He was trying to intimidate me in a threatening manner. The cost of the tour was $10/person and I didn't have exact money in all bills, and ended up giving him four quarters. Wasn't going to get money out of ATM for one dollar bill, and he had the nerve to also complain that I'm paying him with change. It was the worst experience I've had with a stranger in a long time, and this was the owner of a business for which I was a paying customer. He yelled at me not only in front of a man and his small child, (the only other customers by this time) but also my own children. It was totally rude and unprofessional. Finally after all of this, I told him I didn't appreciate being called sweetie and honey and I'd like him to stop. He raised his voice so much at me after that that he scared my two boys, and told us we needed to leave. We were paying and trying to leave anyway. It was ridiculous! I still can't believe it happened. I handled myself so well, and my children were shocked by his behavior. They saw what a real jerk looks like this weekend. It was a teachable moment for sure! We will never be back, especially after he admitted stealing the baby calves away from their mothers in order to be bottle-fed instead. I will not support a business who acts like they love animals, but is really only out for making money off of them at the end of the day. Eyes wide open. Do not support this creep!

This was the neatest place. Anyone with little kids that love animals needs to take a visit. Family farm. Great people!

I saw a camel pee. It was nasty. It peed for like 3 minutes straight. We were all like "Wow why is it peeing for so long?" And we were laughing while it peed. I was like 9 when we went there. Also his parrot scared me and his geese or whatever birds those were also scared me. But his dog was ok. He also yelled at me for walking too fast.
