“Discovered this hidden gem while looking for a mobile petting zoo for my nephew’s 2nd birthday party! After discovering she allows the farm to be rented out for the day, I contacted Maria to inquire about that. She could not be anymore amazing than she already is! Very patient, sweet, lady who has a passion for sharing her knowledge and love for her animals. (She is a teacher!) We had a blast, adults and children! Contact her if you want to visit, she’s by “appointment” on the weekends! If you choose to visit, make sure you bring plenty of fruits, veggies, bread, crackers, cereal, oats, etc… she’ll let you know the few things they can’t eat! Animals to see include donkeys, miniature ponies, goats, cows, chickens, roosters, bunnies, pigs, turkey, Emus, gecko, African spine tail lizard and a bearded dragon. One donkey smiles when you tell it “ cheese”! It’s hilarious!! Highly recommend you visiting her farm!! This is a rescue farm and all animals can be petted and fed!”

“We loved visiting Maria’s farm. Maria is so welcoming. It felt like stopping by an old friend’s place. You can immediately tell how much she loves the animals, and it’s inspiring to see how much she puts into caring for them. The animals were all so cute and eager for attention, especially when we gave them the fruit and veggies we brought along. Princess the turkey really does have a special love for men, which made us laugh. It was amazing to meet someone who started a rescue almost by accident and ended up dedicating so much of her life to helping others. Highly recommend visiting if you love animals.”

“The reviews are spot on. Maria and her crew are hardworking, kind souls that care for the left behind. All the animals have a story and Maria has acquired them as the universe wanted her to. This is more of a small scale petting/feeding experience and to be out in nature. It was so calm and nice. Bring healthy veggies/snacks with you for the animals as your donation. We brought carrots, lettuce, apples, strawberries, blackberries and crackers. They were gone in no time! Good people for a good cause! Loved it:)”

“My daughter loves animals a lot so we were looking for a place where she could pet them and this was perfect! There were chickens, cows, goats, donkeys, and even 2 cute little dogs❤️ Maria, the owner was very kind and even gave me some place suggestions nearby related to animals. You can bring your own food for the animals (I definitely recommend!) like fruits, and veggies or cereal. All the animals loved the treats and the vibe is so calm and friendly. We are definitely going to come back again👍”

“Excellent. Maria is an animal conservation warrior. She is so knowledgeable and nice when it comes to farm animals. I will definitely visit again. Please visit her farm and bring some awesome food for the animals. Donate too. She puts a lot of work into her farm and it helps Maria’s Farm immensely.”

“Highly recommend visiting! Maria is a teacher so you need to give her a call to see when she is home & it is no cost to enter. Bring some goodies (veggies, bread, etc) for the animals and you can feed them. Make sure to give princess the turkey some good pets - she loves it!”

“What a gem we found!!! Maria's Farm is such a cute little place. Our son had so much fun exploring every inch of it. Picking the freshly laid eggs was one of his faves! Maria is an amazing person and we look forward to visiting again. 5 stars!!!”

“Toddlers friendly!!! My daughter was so happy that she can feed and pet the animals there. Also, Maria is very kind to friendly. Definitely will go back there to visit again.”
