Cedar Pond Farms delivers an absolutely delightful Highland cow experience that keeps visitors raving. The intimate, small-group sessions give you plenty of time to feed, brush, and pet these fluffy beauties, each with their own distinct personality. The facility stands out for its cleanliness and attention to detail, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels special from start to finish. Guides like Hannah, Tim, Allie, and Noah consistently earn praise for their knowledge about the breed and genuine enthusiasm, making sure everyone stays safe while getting up close with the horned cuties. Beyond the cow encounters, visitors love the thoughtful extras: complimentary gelato and coffee afterward, accommodating staff who bring chairs for those with mobility concerns, and even photo assistance. Families find it perfect for all ages, while couples appreciate it as a unique date or gift idea. Some guests also rave about the on-site lodging (the Barndo), which comes fully equipped with fun touches like collecting your own eggs for breakfast and proximity to the animals.
Our guide Tim was amazing with showing us the cows and giving us all the information we needed to be safe and aware.
