Our Farm
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.
Petting Zoo
Animal Education and Interactivity
Our Petting Zoo is a main attraction here at Shepperly Farm and our animals can’t wait to meet you! Lift your spirits by petting an assortment of cute creatures, from goats and pigs to more exotic animals such as mini donkey's and even a wallaby.
2020 Season Entrance Fee
Our vision for children has always been to share the importance of agriculture and all things farming. Which is why we wanted to add an educational center along with the petting zoo so that children and families alike can not only pet our farm animals but learn about animal care and the benefits to farming. We hope to have the educational center open very soon. We will keep you posted on the progress of that project. In the mean time we invite you to come and enjoy our new petting zoo!
Our animals are all kept clean, happy and healthy, as they are our pets, first and foremost. Our volunteers and employees are all very hands on to ensure that both the children and animals have a happy, SAFE experience!
FEEDING OUR ANIMALS
If you would like to feed the animals, you may purchase animal crackers and carrot tops (must purchase whole carrots) from our market. Our goats, love snacking on animal crackers. Our bunnies love snacking on carrot tops. Please only feed them the tops; carrots themselves contain too much sugar for bunnies. Please do not feed our animals outside food – they will get very sick.
PONY RIDES
Only available during a birthday party and for the birthday child only. Please let us know when booking your birthday party that you are interested in this.

In addition to a petting zoo with hundreds of animals, Shepperly Farm is also happy to host your child's birthday party. We have a party room with vintage, coin-operated arcade games, concessions, additional yard games and more. You provide the cake and snacks- we provide the fun! Spend your party time petting animals and enjoying the outdoors and then close it out with some good, old-fashioned arcade fun.

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!
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 A-MAZING! I can't say enough good things about the owners and animals at Shepperly Farm. I could have spent all day there.
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.
What a wonderful experience for adults and children! Thank you for sharing your time and farm to teach children the love of animals.
