This looks like fun!

This Sunday! Join us for our November Farmers Moo-ket on Sunday, November 5th, from 12-4pm! Meet the critters of Critter Creek and enjoy delicious plant-based foods while shopping with our 35+ awesome vendors. Participate in a fun scavenger hunt with prizes! It’s also a great time to get some early holiday shopping done.

Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes so you can go in with the piggies and get some muddy kisses. We can't wait to see you there! We are located directly off of County Road 231.

There is a $5 suggested donation per person upon entry to the moo-ket. We are a 501c3 nonprofit farmed animal sanctuary, and donations help us continue to host and improve our moo-kets and care for our rescued critter residents. Please be aware that no tickets are required! See you Sunday!
