🐴 Meet & Feed the Animals

 

The heart of Spring Haven Farm is our animals—and every ticket includes time to meet them!

​

Say hello to Luna the farm cat, Annie the donkey, Wilbur the Highland cow, and of course, our playful and friendly goats. All of our animals are well-loved, well cared for, and excited to meet new friends.

​

👉 Want an even more hands-on experience? Add an animal treat bag to your visit. You can feed goats, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, and more. Kids love shucking and grinding their own corn cob for a fresh, farm-style snack that the animals can’t resist.

​

Spring Haven Farm is one of the top family-friendly farms in the Triangle, perfect for safe and fun animal interactions.
