The One Massachusetts Farm Where You Can Feed Camels And Snuggle Goats
When my kids were small, we loved going to local farms to visit all of the animals. It was always extra special when we got to pet and feed the livestock. I loved watching the children’s faces as they hesitantly put out their little hands full of feed. They would then burst into laughter as a goat or pig enthusiastically lapped up the offerings, tickling their hands in the process. These special memories fly by quickly, and I’m glad I got to experience these moments with my kids when they were young. If you and your littles are looking for a family-friendly farm where you can feed and pet the animals, Davis Farmland in Sterling is one of the best farms in Massachusetts to visit.
