emerald farm

A great place to visit with a variety of experiences. Watch the wonderful family of Saanen goats who produce the milk for all the great Saanen natural soap products. The Zahn family has a wonderful health and holistic shop, a hobby shop, a herb garden, a duck pond and so much more.A great family experience.

There is a covered area that is great for parties. There is a playground area beside the shelter. You can feed the fish at the big pond. There is live animals that you can also feed. They have a train station and a engineer that will drive the train during your party. They also have a gift shop with handmaid soaps, gifts, and other items. Everyone is super friendly. We have had several parties there when my children were younger. They usually book up fast since there is only one shelter area. I would call ahead!

This is a nice place to visit with younger children. The goats are a real favorite and there is a small train ride too!

There is a duck pond that also has big catfish. This is good for at leasst 15 mins of fun feeding them and watching them. Also swings and slide. There are peacocks roaming around. There is a small train one can ride (pneumatic tires). Inside there is a big room with Thomas Train setup where kids can play and they sell parts. Some of them are hard to find elsewhere. There is a large HO train setup upstairs. Sometimes you can watch it in action. There is a shop for hypoallergenic products, many of which are produced on premises. It is easy to spend 4 hours without getting bored.

A very nice, laid back place to visit. The owner was very helpful and made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Took grand kids here for a day trip from Abbeville, kids enjoyed model train upstairs, riding train on property, feeding goats, watching & listening to peacocks, shopping & overall relaxing afternoon.

This little farm is a miniature zoo. Pettable critters including goats and lots of peacocks. A store full of natural products including homemade goat soaps, cheeses and milk. Train to take rides on, not to mention a complete miniature train town upstairs. Park-like setting with playground and pond. Feed the fish and plan a picnic. You can spend a few hours here easily. Perfect for the grandkids, especially the little ones. And it's all for free!

My husband and I brought our daughter here a few months after she was born. Its good, free fun to walk around and see all the different animals. The have two little shops with a great variety of things to purchase. We definitely plan to bring our daughter back when she is a little bit older to give her more of a learning experience.

We have been taking our children to Emerald Farm since they were babies. It is a great way to spend a few hours - you can feed the giant catfish, friendly ducks and adorable baby goats and lamas. There is a small play ground, and a kid's play area in the gift shop. For a small fee, you can ride the train ~ little ones love it. We had our daughter's 3rd birthday party there in the shelter by the pond, and everyone had a great time. The rental fee for parties is VERY reasonable. The owners are so friendly and helpful. We always feel that even if it weren't free to go, we would be happy to pay a few dollars for an entrance fee.
