Animal Farm open for Mother’s Day!


The Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm will be open to the public this Sunday, May 13th – Mother’s Day – from 1 – 3 p.m.!

What a great way to spend some family time with all of the animals at the Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm on Stock Island. Come on out, bring your Mom, and visit with the huge variety of animals at the farm, including barnyard animals like Ghost the blind horse, Eeyore the donkey, Nikki the pony, Angus the cow, geese, ducks, chickens, goats and pigs; tropical animals including exotic birds, snakes, a pair of sloths, a kinkajou and a lemur; and other favorites, including Albert the African Spurred Tortoise, Bucky the Llama, Kramer the Emu, a family of Patagonian Cavies, lots of bunnies, ferrets, Cayman lizards, peacocks, and many more.

This month, May 13th will be the only day the farm is open to the public. In June, it will resume it’s normal schedule of second and fourth Sundays from 1 – 3 p.m.

The farm is  free of charge (donations are welcome). The farm is located just off of College Road, on Stock Island, at the Sheriff’s Office Headquarters complex. Groups may schedule special tours at the farm by calling Farmer Jeanne Selander at 305-293-7300.
