A smaller circle, chosen with care
Meet the Farm Friends
Our Farm Friends visit people indoors and outdoors all year around. Alongside our six larger animals, some programs can include baby goats and lambs; kittens may join select senior visits.
Babydoll sheep
Selected for their size and smile, Babydoll sheep remain a favourite. With a last name of Woolley, we can’t have a farm without them.
Nigerian Dwarf goats
There is nothing like a bouncing baby goat to watch, snuggle, or see jump into a lap or walk on a back. We enjoy babies twice a year with our herd. The next kids are expected in December 2026.
Alpacas
Quirky and quizzical, our boys are known for giving kisses and love a good selfie with clients. Their fleece is wonderfully soft to the touch.
Mini donkeys
Delilah is the oldest of all our farm animals and isn’t even halfway to old yet! Docile, delightful and darling, these sweeties are a joy to meet indoors or outside all year around.
Mini horses
Our smallest, Maximus, fits in the back of our Subaru Forester; our largest is one of our unicorns. We have lovely minis to groom and brush, walk and pet—the perfect addition to a celebration.
Mini cow
Our Gilmore Gal Rory is famous from Chick-fil-A Cow Appreciation Day to school events and community celebrations. Mini cows may be small in size but gigantic in impact.
Kittens, on select senior visits
Raised indoors with cuddles galore, our kittens are always willing to help with paperwork around the office. We find a family for every one; often, clients come back for a second purrfect pet from another litter.
A new home for hatching
Hatching programs
A new chapter in hatching with ducks, chickens and exotic options too.
We've passed the torch to Shiloh Springs Farm with Tori and her family.
Tori says, “We are so excited to start this new adventure taking over the Critter Visits Hatching Program and feel privileged to carry on the Critter Visits legacy of sharing smiles and a love for animals. We are blessed to experience this lifestyle and care for our animals every day and would love the opportunity to share it with you and your family or students. Maybe you'll be the next generation of poultry lovers and breeders, too!”Hatching bookings with Tori ↗
A little of the farm for everyone
Farm Sampler
When our larger animals join the mini goats and lambs, you get a sampler of the fluffy farm friends. For retirement homes, schools, churches and community gatherings, it’s a bit of the farm for everyone to share.

One of our farm favourites for decades! Let us bring the animals from the creche to you: lambs, goats, a mini donkey, a mini cow (or pony), and an alpaca as a stand-in camel—its much fluffier cousin. Booking in November and December; reserve early.

Still people first.
Critter Visits has been bringing animal experiences to people for two decades. We’re keeping the heart of the business the same: good animals, thoughtful visits and a real conversation about what will suit your group.
Farmer Karen is happy to help you figure out the details. Glenn is part of the farm family, too—and you may see more of him on the new site.
We book indoor and outdoor visits throughout the year. Woolley Wonderland Farm is our home base, not an event venue.
