"We love animals. We thought about how we could help the community connect with animals and get to experience them. So that's where the agrotourism comes in. And we thought if we love sitting and playing with our animals, there's probably community members out there who would do the same!"
"The 45-acre, fourth generation farm in the wooded hills of Berks County holds many experiences and events throughout the year. They offer a rent-a-chick foster program and even a mobile petting zoo. Their guided tours teach the community the importance of farms and the history of farming in the region. And for Aubrey, cuddling with a highland cow, is one memory she'll cherish for years to come."
"I promised her that we'd be down here to see them. It was for Aubrey's birthday. She's watched every possible video on the TV."
