Hold Baby Animals

Fall is a special time of year at Govin’s Farm. Visitors are invited to visit with sheep and lambs, pigs and piglets, goats and kids, chicks, and alpacas. Learn more about the animals from the knowledgeable staff or by reading the informative signs around the barn. You might even be lucky enough to witness a birth during your visit! With the motto “If it fits in your lap, we’ll help you hold it,” there are plenty of hands-on opportunities to interact with baby animals.

The farm is also a great place to go for action-packed, seasonal activities like a hay jump, steer roping, corn hole, mini golf and pumpkin picking. Be sure to visit the snack shed for lunch, along with delicious fall favorites like apple cider donuts, kettle corn, caramel apple blossoms and hot and cold beverages, including apple cider.
