Adventure Farm: Joyer Barnyard

As part of Waldoch Farm’s passion for agricultural outreach and experience-based education, we welcome you to the highlight of the farm - Joyer Barnyard. We offer a family friendly environment. A typical barnyard visit takes more than an hour. Joyer Barnyard is the destination for many families that visit Joyer Adventure Farm at Waldoch Farm.

You can get close enough to feed the farm animals at the barnyard. Families enjoy strolling through the barnyard and feeding farm animals. Bring quarters for the feed dispensers.

In the barnyard you can visit a wide range of farm animals including sheep, chickens, donkeys, alpaca, ponies, peacocks, pygmy goats, pigs and other poultry. The poultry on the farm are inside to keep them safe from Avian Flu that can be spread through the migration of wild birds. Thank you, for helping us keep our birds safe.
