We love to share all about the animals at HCF and their hilarious personalities, as well as the beauty of the farm and the creek! At Hendo Care Farm, all people get a hands-on opportunity to interact and learn more about farm animals and all the amazing farm-based projects they provide.
All guided farm tours include delightful interactions with our pigs, chickens, goats, and horses! And if you are lucky, you might run into the friendly accidental barn cat.
Rates are dependent upon the number of guests visiting the farm and how long you want to stay. Children under 2 years old are free. If you choose to stay a bit longer, HCF allows people to bring their own drinks (non-alcoholic) and snacks to enjoy at the creek!
