The Basics

Farm Chore Tag-a-long 

Spend the morning with us as we take care of the animals around the farm! Get up close with the animals and learn what basic necessities they need every day to be happy farm residents!

Collect the chicken eggs, feed the pigs, and maybe bottle feed the lambs or calves! 

Get your boots on and let’s have some farm fun!

 

Exclusive Farm Tour 

Be guided around the farm by our farm stay coordinator to see all the ins and outs of Mary’s Land Farm. The 160 acre property is home to several historical features, fields and pastures, tons of farm animals, a soil green house, hydroponics greenhouse and so much more! 
 
Go by foot or hop on the 6 seater golf cart for this 1.5-2 hour tour. 

 

Animal Walking 

The best tour guides at Mary’s Land Farm are our goats, sheep or ponies! Let’s go on a walk around the farm with our fun and friendly animals. 

Enjoy the scenery of the farm with these farm friends and have an opportunity to get to know their unique personalities!

This is a great activity to learn the basics of halters, lead lines, and simple horsemanship skills.
