We also have a farm animal menagerie in the barn down by the road. Here you can visit with the following (Click on the links for sounds!) animals "up close and personal."  We offer guided tours of the barn in the morning from 8 am to 9 am on weekdays (around 9:30 a.m. on weekends) while chores are being done, so just inquire when you are here!  At other times, you are able to visit the animals over the fence that comes right up to the front yard.

• Lots of llamas! They guard the other animals from any potential predators, but are great fun to enjoy by themselves.  The girls are Dolly Madison, Martha Washington, Molly Pitcher, Celebration (the first llama to be born here at Maple Hill Farm) and Maartina (she is very friendly).  The boys are Tango, Sundance, Bojangles ("Bo"), Prancer (born November 2007, and he loves to sniff new faces), Damhnait (pronounced "DAV-nat" meaning "fawn," who was born in March 2008), and Pedro (our youngest born March 2010).

• We have one pony named Sandy, who loves carrots.

• Goat named Jake.  He really craves your attention, or a dried maple leaf will make you best friends.

• Three Sheep, both black and white, that we are raising for their wool.  "Old Girl" is our favorite here.

• Dozens and dozens of chickens (we have many but our favorites are the lead rooster and Henrietta who sits on her eggs).  We often have new chicks running around the barn!

There is also a lot of wildlife around our farm, including many birds at our feeder year-round, white-tailed deer in the field in the early evening, the occasional moose that crosses the field, and even wild turkeys in the yard or even crossing our driveway!  Be sure to check out the photos of our wildlife.
