Get ready to meet, greet, and of course pet some farm animals at The Bridge! Our friends at Sparrow’s Nest Farm are so excited to share their animal-loving delight through a mobile petting zoo. Take turns petting and playing with giant rabbits and silkie chickens in a safe, roped-off pen in the back parking lot. We recommend Googling “silkie chickens” - it’s a special and SUPER FLUFFY chicken breed. Who’s ready to take a mental health break and get their animal-fix?! Come with questions too, such as: What time do you have to wake up when you live on a farm? or How long does it take to feed all of the animals? You never know - farming may be in your future!
