MEet the team
cocoaCocoa was the cute little animal that started this all. We adopted cocoa to help socialize our puppies and that turned into so much more. He is a miniature appaloosa and that is very rare. He also is the shortest therapy pony in the US and has visited and been visited by over 6,000 people during his life. Which hasn't been very long yet. He's only 4 and has been riding kids that are 50 lbs and smaller for about 6 months.
SVen
Sven is our baby goat! He is still being bottle fed and loves kids! He came to our farm at 6 weeks old and has been running around with all our other animals since bringing everyone lots of happiness that gets to see him! When he first came to our farm he was too little to be with Cocoa, Misty, and Flower, so he lived with the bunnies and ducks. One morning we found him locked inside a bunny hutch! We decided that that probably meant he was getting big enough to start spending time with the "big" animals.

MistyMisty joined us about a year ago, she is our 3 year old mare that loves kids to death and wants to have everyone pet her! She is also pregnant with our very first mini pony! Misty loves visting the veterans and they love her! When she gets old enough we can't wait to train her to be able to carry riders that are bigger than 50 lbs!

FlowerFlower has been part of out team just as long as Cocoa. She joined as a bottle fed baby with another cutie we named Bambi, sadly Bambi liked to headbutt to much so she went to live on another farm. We have cycled through many goats trying to find the friendliest goats and Flower has been the only one to stay. She loves kids and will eat anything you give her. She also loves Cocoa, when they were littler she used to get separation and anxiety and do everything she could to get to him. We helped her with that and now she can go by herself places and love kids just as if Cocoa was there too!
Lumiere II and Chapeau
Lumiere II was named after our gander that passed away from unknown causes. He has been handled by people his whole life and we are excited for him to meet all of the people that come to see our petting zoo. Chapeau (the coat rack from Beauty and the Beast) is one of our new born gese, but he is a gander. He was born on June 8th, he is an adorable addition to our zoo!
Mrs. Potts
Mrs. Potts is always in charge. She is very mothering, this is called broody when its about a ducks personality. Because of her motherly personality we named her Mrs. Potts, to go with out Beauty and the beast themed bird names. She takes care of our baby ducks when we adopt them and takes care of her own and Clo's eggs. Mrs. Potts loves kids and being pet.

These cute bunnies are tiny, yet fisty!
They are basically the toy poodle of bunnies. Kinda obnoxious, but very cute! Bunny, Beast, Hunter, Marshmallow
Bunny (orange and white) came to our farm from a cute little family with 4 kids who couldn't keep her any more, she is sweet and super friendly. Beast (mostly black) we adopted from McKee's (our local pet store) before he went to the pet store he was born at on of our close friends house! He is very loud and enjoys swimming around in his pool. Hunter (brown and black) .... Marshmallow lived with the same man for the first 6 years of her life, he had 4 guinea pigs and couldn't handle watching them get any older, so we took them for his as our first guinea pigs. Marshmallow is the only one left and she doesn't go to events anymore, she has gotten to old and had to retire :)
