As our visiting season comes to a close, it's the beginning of the annual pumpkin drop for the animals! Bring all of your holiday pumpkins out to the farm and grow the pile next to the barn anytime before dark. It's a great way to recycle your holiday decorations and help keep the animals healthy.

Welcome Jellybean to the farm! She is a silver fox raised in captivity and came to the farm as exotic pets are not allowed in city limits. She has never been outside of a house before and seems very happy to explore the outdoors! Although exotic animals can make wonderful pets, they are not domesticated and extensive research should be done to care for one and respect their instinctive natures. She seems very happy in her new home and has already marked her new den as her very own! The heartbreaking decision to bring her to the farm for her continued well-being is a testament to her owner wanting the best environment for Jellybean!
