We’re so excited to introduce two new baby Highland cows from our neighbors at Cellar Creek Farm - Dusty and Daphne! These 3 and 6-month old babies are ready for all the cuddles, treats, and love you can give! They’ll be visiting the Orchard every weekend in May as part of our Baby Highland Cow Cuddles in the Poppies event. This year, we’ve planted over 10 pounds of poppy seed (50,000+ seeds!), with blooms of red, pink, and orange, creating the perfect backdrop for photos with Dusty and Daphne. Book tickets now to join the fun.
