We had heard about the place from some of our friends. It sounded like a wonderful way to spend a day.
It is not your typical Amish farm...although one would never guess it at first sight. General farming goes on...hay making, planting gardens, etc.
It is only when you climb into the horse drawn wagon and begin an hour's ride that you believe you may have moved to a far away spot.
Fallow Deer from Australia and New Zealand were everywhere.
Aoudad from Algeria posed perfectly for the camera.
This Giraffe from Africa was more than happy to eat from our buckets of grain.
Afterwards we were free to tour walkways that showcased exotic birds from faraway places .
My favorite was the East African Crown Crane.
I am sure no movie star could be dressed as pretty as this proud one.
Well friends this is just a handful of the wonderful animals we got to see and touch. Thank you for letting me share these photos with you.
Hope everyone has a beautiful July.
God Bless
Debbie
P.S. Will be around to visit all of you soon. I've missed you!
Welcome back. What an interesting farm. I wonder if these are rescues or a collection?
ReplyDeleteAmazing animals. That peacock...wow!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice place to visit Debbie!!! My Uncle lived next door to a lovely Amish family in Ohio. When we visited the family, they would invite us over to see the grounds...
ReplyDeleteThey gave us fresh milk from their cows!!! I gagged...but it was an experience. Lol
I love the zebra.... And of course, glad to see you back!!
So good to see your post, Debbie. Hope to see more soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some gorgeous photos from your field trip! These beautiful animals look safe and content - makes me happy.
Looks like your summer is off to a great start!
I so love animals. Looks like a blast.
ReplyDeleteWHAT FUN!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI did not expect such exotic animals in Ohio! Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteNeat photos, Debbie
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place to visit on a summer's day.
Happy Week!
The photos are great - what a fun place to visit!
ReplyDeleteWe missed you too! What a treat to see so many beautiful animals!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back home, Debbie, and it looks like you had a zinger of a vacation. What interesting animals your delightful photos show. Definitely a treat to see such exotic creatures and feed them as well. It certainly looks like a nice place to stay. Take care and welcome home!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to see this farm, these lovely animals. Aren't summer excursions grand? Happy July to you, Debbie! Rita
ReplyDeleteThat would be a lot of fun. Glad you had a little vacation. Poppy and I have just got to get away somewhere sometime soon. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful animals and birds, especially the crane. Nice place to see. Regards.
ReplyDeleteBonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteTu as passé une très agréable journée...
A la vue de ta première photo, j'ai eu une belle pensée à mes paons... J'ai eu la chance d'avoir un couple de paons qui au cours des années ont fait des petits. J'ai eu jusqu'à une vingtaine de paons dont 6 blancs.
Ils ont vécu de longues années. Le dernier est mort il y a 4 ans. Beaucoup pensent que ce ne sont pas des animaux intelligents et bien ils se trompent bigrement. Ils sont extrêmement sensibles et ont également beaucoup d'intérêt à la musique. Ils venaient tous près de la fenêtre écouter ma fille jouer du piano... Je pourrais en parler longuement !
Les propriétaires de cette ferme doivent vivre des moments magiques en compagnie de leur animaux. Ils ont tant à nous apprendre.
Cependant il est tellement mieux de les savoir dans leur milieu naturel.
Là c'est un autre chapitre... Nous pourrions épiloguer des heures !
Merci pour ce délicieux moment et pour l'ensemble de ces belles photos.
J'ai eu la chance lorsque j'ai vécu en Afrique de pouvoir admirer des grues couronnées. Des oiseaux sublimes.
Gros bisous et bel été à toi
What a wonderful place. A treat for sure.
