We welcome you to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy under Steckle provided umbrellas and blankets. Food and drink will also be on sale. We hope you will stay and play lawn games, meet new friends and relax at the farm with your family!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you require advance notice for visits from larger groups?
For parties of 10 or more planning to attend on one of our Open Tuesdays (May through October), please call the day before your visit.
If you would like to schedule a group tour on a different day, please call for more information.
Will I be able to explore the barnyard and paddock areas?
Absolutely! We ask that you respect fencing and not go into the animal pens. Staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
May I bring my dog when I visit?
Please leave your furry friends at home. We do not know the vaccination history of your pet, and don’t want to take the risk of anything being introduced to the farm.
If you do come with a dog, we will not allow access to the farm until your pup is returned home safely. We do not tolerate animals being left in vehicles in the parking lot!
Service dogs with proper vests and identification are welcome on-site, but may not enter animal paddocks.
What is appropriate footwear for my visit?
You will be in a barnyard setting with loose animals, and you may encounter wet and/or uneven terrain. We suggest that you wear closed-toe footwear.
Will I be able to feed the animals?
There are opportunities to feed the animals with the supervision of staff. However, please do not attempt to feed the animals unless instructed as they are each on special diets.
