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.
Bacon Pig
Lover of Belly Rubs
Bacon is a little guy who's favorite things are belly rubs and cheerios. Well, really all snacks in general. He will go to great lengths just to get a snack. While you're visiting Shepperly Farm, be sure to stop by and give Bacon's belly a nice long rub!

Shepperly Farm Fun Facts
Contrary to popular belief, pigs are actually very smart animals. They even have more intelligence than dogs!
Their snouts guide the way! They are an integral part in how pigs find food in the ground and how they sense the world around them. Their snouts are 2000 times more sensitive than a human's nose.
Currently in the world, there are more than two billion pigs! That's a lot of snorting!
Within 2 weeks of being born, piglets know their mothers' voices and come when their mothers call for them. They can even learn their names in that 2 week period as well.
Researchers have found that pigs are constantly communicating with one another. There have been more than 20 different vocalizations identified.
Though they often appear muddy, pigs are actually very clean animals. They are one of the few animals that keep their toilet areas far away from where they eat and sleep.

What a wonderful experience for adults and children! Thank you for sharing your time and farm to teach children the love of animals.
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 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.
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!
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.
Lots of fun! Family friendly and the sweetest animals ever! Very therapeutic! And the owner is amazing!
