A Kingdom of Animals

A Kingdom of Animals

Welcome to WildeWood Farm: A Kingdom Unlike Any Other

There are farms where you come to see the horses. And then there are farms where you come to discover an entire kingdom.

At WildeWood Farm, the kingdom begins with the noble horses.

Meet the Horses First

They are usually the first ones to greet you, grazing peacefully in the pastures, stretching their legs, or simply enjoying another ordinary, beautiful day.

The young ones may be playing or napping in the sunshine, depending on their mood. The geldings might have invented a spirited game of tag that nobody else quite understands. And across the road, beneath the sprawling branches of the old trees, the mares are perfectly content to eat, nap, and watch the world go by.

Making Your Way Up the Driveway

Keep driving slowly up the driveway.

The Farm’s Official Greeters: Our Dogs

You’ll soon meet the farm’s barking sentinels.

Our dogs have appointed themselves official greeters, and they take their job very seriously. They may stand right in the middle of the driveway, barking loudly to announce that someone important has arrived.

Don’t stop. Just keep coming slowly.

They’ll move. Probably.

There may be a car or two in the driveway, too. This is a working farm, after all – not a museum. There is always something going on.

Life on the Farm: Chickens, Chicks, and Plenty of Character

And then you’ll notice the chickens. Oh, the chickens!

Big ones, little ones, fluffy ones, fancy ones, and ordinary ones – all wandering about as though they own the place. There will be clucking and scratching and crowing. There may be a little romance happening behind the barn, and if the season is right, you may even discover a mama hen proudly leading a trail of tiny, fuzzy chicks.

Explore Dr. Potter’s Harness Barn and the Animals Beyond

And if you wander down by Dr. Potter’s Harness Barn, the kingdom grows even larger.

There you may find a whole cast of characters:

Cows.
Pigs.
Goats.
Sheep.

Every Animal Has a Personality of Their Own

Each with their own voices, habits, friendships, and personalities.

Some will come running to see you. Some will pretend they haven’t noticed you. And some will be absolutely certain that you have arrived specifically to bring them something delicious.

This Is More Than a Farm – It’s Their Home

Because this isn’t simply a farm filled with animals.

It is their home.

A place where horses can be horses, chickens can scratch in the dirt, dogs can patrol the driveway, goats can be mischievous, sheep can graze, cows can lounge beneath the trees, and pigs can be gloriously, unapologetically piggy.

And somehow, in caring for all of them, this place has become home to us, too.

A kingdom for the animals. A home for our family. And a little piece of the kingdom that we are delighted to share with yours.
