My daughter did a pony ride today, and I was so blown away with our experience. Farmer Jen was incredible! We loved hearing about how she grew up with horses, and her passions for animals and having a farm. She went above and beyond what I would have expected for a pony ride, teaching my daughter about grooming, tacking, and safety in such a child friendly and fun way, she clearly has a very special way with children. The pony ride was awesome as well, Jen made it so fun and interesting by going through some of the obstacles that were set up in the ring. Needless to say, it was one of the most special experiences for my daughter and we were so grateful for the opportunity! Thank you!!! ??

This property is located in a picturesque part of westford. The property is well maintained.Our family of 4 with an 18 month old and a 4 year old were there this past weekend for a holiday themed event for families. The event was mismanaged in manny aspects. On site parking is minimal and by the time we got there we were told we could unload the kids and then go get a shuttle. It should be noted, the directions to get to the location for the shuttles were vague and frustrating. The sandbox was overfilled with kids. No animals to interact with. Expensive Christmas trees ($80) that were quite small. The vendors on site were selling junk. One vendor was selling nice products. The pony rides were over priced with a horribly long line. And the route went though the chaos of people walking around. The hay rides had a long line and a crowded wagon. You could rent a fire pit for $125. Even with Mrs clause reading a story to you, it didn’t justify the cost. Way too many people in such a small space. And the concessions- nothing to write home about. My 4 year old said “this is not fun. I want to go home”I’d love a refund for the inconvenience and miserable time had by us all.

Went on a goat hike today. So fun! We meandered through the property with half dozen friendly goats. Farmer Jen is knowledgable and passionate. Nothing fancy - just a nice walk through trails and woods. Def recommend for a get out into the fresh air and support a small business.

The property is beautiful and they have plenty of farm animals for children. More recently though, they held an Oktoberfest event that was mismanaged in a number of ways, which led to a lackluster experience for many patrons including myself and my son. Hopefully they can learn from these errors and host future special events with more success.

A wonderful farm that offers hands on time with animals. A bunny in your arms is worth more than all the exotic animals sleeping at the zoo. Theres pigs, horses, llamas, alpacas, chickens of every variety and ducks (you can pick all those up too). The staff are very nice and are happy to talk and let you play with the animals. They do events, birthdays, and mobile petting zoos. Brought my 2 year old and she was infatuated

Buyer beware. We sent our child to the Good Picken' farm summer camp this summer. They don't tell you upfront that they reserve the right to remove any child from the program for any reason they see fit and not return any unused prepaid tuition. I will never send my child back and will tell everyone I know about their policies to make sure they don't get taken.

Cute farm with cute goats, but I found the experience with the goat snuggle a little off putting. The woman working there was not very welcoming or engaging.

Disappointing Easter EventPoor execution. We waited with our two year old for twenty minutes in the tractor ride line. Was one of the reasons we came here. But as it was our turn to get on the tractor, some lady came over and declared, without prior warning, an end to the rides. There we probably 20-30 ppl still waiting. Would have been really easy to manage that differently and not let those kids have their spirits crushed. Our son asked about the hay ride the whole way home.As the easter egg hunt was about to begin, someone tried in vain to shout the instructions to a crowd of more than one hundred people. Did not work. (For those of you that haven't been - the plastic eggs are strewn on the field for them to pick up, sectioned off by age group.)There was a small pen where ppl could go in to interact with the animals. (ducks, bunny, goat, etc) Initially there was no crowd control - it was chaos and our son couldn't even get to the little pens inside that housed the chics, bunny, etc. Eventually someone decided crowd control was needed - too little too late - we had already moved on.A large sandbox in the middle of it all includes spare parts from a kitchen - literally a metal kitchen sink is thrown in there, plus some other junk - rusty metal kids trucks, eg. Not great.Overall, I'd say look for another option. This group seemed to be unorganized and surprised by the number of ppl they were hosting, or just didn't think it through.

Good Pickin' Farm is absolutely amazing. I had them come to my house and supply a petting zoo for a birthday party I was hosting there. The niceness, knowledge, and patience by the staff with the children can not be superceded! Every one of my party guests couldn't get over how Farmer Jen would light up when discussing the animals and how she took the time to explain each animal and answer every question from each child. They brought a beautiful animal enclosure that the kids had more than enough space to mingle with the animals, and there was a generous array of animals that were brought for the kids to enjoy. The farmers were so personable and really made the birthday party a hit. The animals also were clearly very loved and well taken care of. I would choose this farm a million times over, I can't say enough good things about them and my experience. My son just totally adored the animals they brought.Thanks Good Pickin' Farm!!!

We LOVED our experience on the farm! I signed my daughter up for their morning on the farm class - hands on, in the pen, playing, petting, and feeding the animals.My daughter has shown a great love for the farm and specifically farm animals so when I came across this educational center I couldn't resist signing her up for a class to try out.The staff were so friendly, knowledgeable, and very engaged during the class! It was fun to see the other classes walking around the farm to get an idea for future classes to sign her up for.Highly recommend signing up your child for one of the classes here! As a future homeschool Mom, I'm excited to know there will be options here to enroll my child during one of the programs to get a hands on learning experience in something she loves!

Great visit! My 3 year old and 5 year old both did pony rides with Farmer Jen. Very relaxed atmosphere, easy to learn about the horses and have fun at the same time.
