Uncle Donald’s Farm
Yes, Virginia, UNCLE DONALD has a FARM!
Recently I had the opportunity to visit Uncle Donald’s Farm. It was the occasion of my little nephew’s second birthday and even at that tender age, he just loves farm animals and tractors. He actually lives on a little horse farm here in Ocala, Florida, so it was a natural fit for his party. We all, young and old alike, had a genuinely fun time.
Besides the picnic area where the party was held, we got to
go on a hay ride
and feed the cows,
and the pigs
and the sheep
and the chickens.
Then we got to milk the goat and then,
give the kid a bottle.
And don’t forget petting the bunnies!
And………. the pony rides for the little tykes.
There were other exotics there too like llamas, cougars, parrots to name just some.
Whew! What a busy day. Who would’ve guessed that we would find such a treasure right in the middle of civilization. That’s why they say”We are more than a petting farm, we are almost a zoo!”.

That’s a great experience for your nephew. We used to take my kindergarten students to farm field trip, but limited unlike Uncle Donald’s Farm… very first hand experience.
Have a great week ahead!

Lani, that is great. Both that you took the farm field trips AND that you were involved in kindergarten. I used to teach. You know, there are many petting farms or animal educational places in most communities to teach children about animals- big or small – all worthwhile.
Marzoz, thanks for the warm fuzzies. It was a love fest!

This is very cool! Totally my kind of place – I am still a kid at heart, I guess!
