Open Farm Day

Our 6th annual Open Farm Day will be May 9, 2026 from 9a – 2p!

We will have a self guided tour around our farm to see all our animals. This will be much larger than one of our typical petting zoos when we are at events because you will get to see ALL the animals. Even the ones that don’t get to travel with us.

You will be able to go in a pen with the baby goats and baby lambs. I hope you’re not scared of birds because the chickens and turkeys will probably follow you around, especially if you have feed in your hand. You will also get to feed and pet the larger animals over the lowered fences.

Feed will be for sale in a couple different spots around the farm.

We will have fun games setup for the kids to play. We will have wagon rides & barrel train rides for a small fee. (weather permitting)

The Chadwick Lions club will be selling food and drinks. Ruby’s Coffee Coach will be here selling their delicious coffee and other drinks.

We will have various craft & product vendors setup selling their goods. Last year we had around 40 vendors here selling. We will post a list of who will be here at the bottom of the page. Currently the list at the bottom shows last years vendors. We will update the list in February.

We had a couple issues with parking last year so we do plan to open up our pasture at the top of the hill west of our place (where the wagon rides went last year). You can pull in there so you don’t have to park on the road and then ride the wagon down and back from the event. Hopefully this helps from some needing to park so far away along the road. It will be safer for those with little kids walking down the road also. Our goal is to have a 2nd wagon running but time will tell if we get it repaired.
