Meet the animals who call The Patch home. They know they are the main attraction and they behave accordingly.

Merida the miniature Scottish Highland cow

Every season · add-on

Cow cuddling with Merida

It is exactly what it sounds like. You sit in the straw with a very fluffy miniature Highland cow and the rest of your week gets noticeably better. Slots are limited each day, so book online before you come to secure yours.

As Merida grows we are working toward offering cow cuddling every day we are open, in every season. She is on board with this plan.

Plan Your Visit

Southdown Babydoll sheep
Included with admission

Southdown Babydoll sheep

Permanently smiling, roughly knee-high, and entirely aware of how cute they are. They will follow you along the fence for as long as you keep walking.

Included with admission

Mini donkeys

Sweet, patient, and prone to a very loud opinion at exactly the wrong moment. Usually mid-photo.

Included with admission

Nigerian Dwarf goats

The troublemakers. If something is standing upright on this farm, a goat has tried to climb it. Twice.

Included with admission

Kunekune pigs

Round, bristly, and deeply committed to lying down. A Kunekune has never once been in a hurry and we respect that.

The Highland herd
Included with admission

The Highland herd

Long horns, longer fringe. They look like they belong in a Scottish postcard and they know it.

Merida, the miniature Highland cow
Cow cuddles — $45 per session

Merida, the miniature Highland cow

Sit with Merida, our miniature Highland cow, for a one-on-one cow cuddling session. Sessions are $45 and availability is limited each day. Book at the barn when you arrive.

Please leave your own animals at home

We adore your dog. We really do. But for the safety of your pet, our animals, and everybody else’s kids, no pets on the property. Service animals excepted, of course.
