Feeding Time is Fun Time

The Gentle Giant Acres farm is home to a variety of animals, including pigs, cows, goats, chickens, and rabbits. We have a lot of hungry mouths to feed on the farm, and every day at 12:05 PM it’s lunchtime for our animal friends. If you would like to join in on the feeding frenzy, you can purchase a feed token to feed the animals yourself. It’s a great opportunity to get up close and personal with our four-legged friends.

Available for $5 at the Farm Store, feed tokens will bring you right into the middle of the action. 

No token, no problem.  Everyone can enjoy the frenzy of hungry herbivores as they chow down on their special diets.  

Did you know that each animal has specific dietary needs? Our experts ensure every one of our furry or feathered friends gets the right balance in their diet. 

We also help reduce food waste through utilizing excess produce from grocery suppliers to keep waste out of our landfills and keep our critters fed!

Get Your Cuddle On!

After our Big friends get fed, it’s time to feed ltlhe little ones!

Watch the Guinea Pigs squeal with excitement and the Rabbits jump for joy as they are provided with their lunchtime delicacies.  There may even be a baby goat or two. 

After feeding comes playtime.  Snuggle with some Bunnies, get to know some Guinea Pigs or have fun with Ferrets.  You will have an opportunity to spend some quality time with our little creatures while learning about their personalities.  Jojo the Cockatoo may even say hi and do something he loves…dancing.
