Why Kids Love a Farm Field Trip
There is nothing more fun for kids than spending time on our beautiful grounds with happy, friendly animals. A field trip to Fluffy Cow Farms gets students outside, hands-on, and learning without realizing it.
Real Animals, Real Stories
Students meet Jett, our fluffy Highland cow, along with pigs, turkeys, horses, goats, dogs, cats, fish, and turtles. Many of our animals were rescued, and each has a story kids can connect with.
A Farm Experience Not Every Child Gets
Our founder grew up loving her aunt's farm and knows that not every child has the chance to experience farm life. Field trips give students that opportunity in a clean, safe, and peaceful setting.
Extended Cow Cuddling Session
The extended session includes approximately 25 minutes with the main herd and 20 minutes with Jett. It is the best choice for guests who want the most time with all of our cows.
