About Us
RESERVATIONS CLOSED
This message is written with a heavy heart. Unfortunately, due to the increase in COVID-19 cases, along with the amount of non-Fremont county residents we see on a daily basis here at Shepperly Farms, we have decided to close until further notice. The safety of our family and our animals are of the utmost importance to us since the farm is where we all live full-time.We will honor the reservations that have been made through August, but will not be taking any further reservations at this time.
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out this season. Your love and support are what keep us going. We sincerely apologize to everyone who were not able to visit the farm. We here at Shepperly Farm offer our sincerest gratitude to all of our friends and supporters.

Come Be A Part Of Our Family
Shepperly Farm Petting Zoo
When we moved our family to Canon City in 2018, we had no idea that a year later we would be running a petting zoo out of our backyard. We started adding animals to our space and inviting friends, family and neighbors over to watch them play. When we saw the happiness, joy and giggles our animals brought others, we knew we had to expand these good feelings to the rest of the community.
Our goal is to provide people with a better understanding of the animals with hands on animal education and knowledge on how to better care for animals. But most of all, we want Shepperly Farm to be a place where you can relax and soak in all the love that our animals truly love to receive and give.
Curious about what kind of animals you can interact with on your visit? Check out our animals to see just a few of the furry friends we have here at Shepperly Farm.
In our 2 years in this wonderful town, we have gone from owning no animals to having 129 animals on our property. And we consider each of those 129 animals (and counting!) to be part of our family. But by visiting our farm, engaging with our animals and choosing to spend your time here, that makes you part of our family, too. We hope you leave here with a little more knowledge about animals than you came in with. We hope you take with you the refreshed and happy feelings from spending time making memories with our animals.
Head on over to the tickets page, and come be a part of our family.

Such a fun place to visit! My kids had so much fun and the owners are so nice. This this is a must see while in Cañon City! We will definitely be back! Thank you Shepperly Family!
What an awesome and educational place to take the kids to! The owners were so welcoming and knowledgeable. We got to physically pet or hold all the animals. The animals were all very friendly and some even posed for pictures.
Lots of fun! Family friendly and the sweetest animals ever! Very therapeutic! And the owner is amazing!
This place is very family friendly. The kids had tons of fun, and the Shepperly family was very knowledgeable about all of their animals. My kids learned a lot while cuddling the cutest and cleanest animals. We will return several times this year. Exactly what Canon needed.
This place is A-MAZING! I can't say enough good things about the owners and animals at Shepperly Farm. I could have spent all day there.
What a wonderful experience for adults and children! Thank you for sharing your time and farm to teach children the love of animals.
