Not only was the farm itself beautiful, but the people who run it and the teens helping with the pony rides treated us like family. All of our daughters’ friends said they wanted to have their party there next and that’s the real review 😊 Hannah was wonderful and made the whole planning process so easy. They remained flexible day-of and we felt like they enjoyed us having our party there as much as we did. The space we had was a perfect size too. Great choice for an outdoor, unique, and memorable birthday 🥳

They had an absolute blast and are now volunteering at the farm! Ms. Hannah and her team are outstanding  with the campers and do an excellent job teaching the kids the fundamentals in a way that is fun, interesting and engaging.  The experience and memories that my children are making are ones that they will treasure for years to come!

We have heard from other parents that many of the children who were guests were still talking about it days later! Hannah and her staff were a pleasure to work with. The farm is beautiful and the many animals are gentle, friendly, and obviously cared for well.

When I drive down their paved driveway and catch a glimpse of the red barn in the distance and the horses grazing in the fields, I feel a sense of peace and freedom. Yesterday was a trail ride day and Miss Hannah was patiently and humorously helping people get their mounts and instructions on which of the 3 trailers to load into. Their is always a good attitude among the riders anticipating fun and fellowship. It is never cold or wet when they are on the horses.
