Celebrate on the farm with family & friends!
You get to experience the whole farm and everything it has to offer! Guests arrive and hang out with all our furry friends in the barnyard (donkeys, sheep, goats and chickens). Later we’ll make some spectacular farm art (a watercolor painting) that is instructor-led by one of our fabulous farm chicks. After that, you can enjoy your cake and food and celebrate! Oh, and we can't forget to hop a hayride! To make your day even more FARMTASTIC, we offer hand-led pony rides and unicorn appearances. It’s an all around great time, with plenty of amazing photo opportunities, memories to be made and fun to be had by all.

Party FAQ
What happens if it rains or it is cold? We are always ready to party with you rain or shine, no matter the season! Our art barn is enclosed and climate controlled for you to take shelter from the rain or the cold, but be aware that most of our party activities are outside. Pouring down rain, however, is usually a showstopper and means that we may have to modify your party and skip some activities. For the best possible experience, we do usually recommend that you reschedule if at all possible. We will work with you to find a new date, so never fear! In the slim event we can’t find an alternative that will work for you and you decide to cancel due to the weather, you will receive a full refund.
What are the different party areas?
The Art Barn: climate-controlled and enclosed (see photos 1-3 above)
Tractor Shed: covered and outdoors (see photos 4-6 above)
Each party area has 1 long main dining table for the children and 2 smaller tables that can be used for food, cake, etc. You are welcome to request a specific party area, but this is not guaranteed. Unless previously discussed, we will decide which party area best fits your crew.
What time can we arrive to set up? Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes prior to your party. Our party hostesses will be on-site to help you set up and unload your vehicles. Please be mindful of your party time, as there is usually another party before/after your party and the farm closes at 6:00 p.m.
Will we have a hostess? YES! We have several amazing, energetic, super fun party hostesses available to lead your party, show you all of our furry and feathered friends and help you have the best day ever!
Are we allowed to tip? You bet! Cows don’t like to be tipped, but our hostesses do!
What is the party flow? For the first 10 minutes of your party you will visit with some of our smaller animals while we wait for all of your guests to arrive. Once we go over our farm rules, you will head back to the barnyard where you will get to meet some of our bigger farm animals. Feel free to brush the goats, pet the donkeys, or snuggle with a sheep! Your barnyard time will last for about 40 minutes.
If you have decided to add on pony rides or a unicorn visit, this will also happen during barnyard time! Children will get to take turns on the pony while visiting our other animals.
Next, you will head over to the art station where your fabulous hostess will lead you in a watercolor painting of one of our farm animals. You can choose from a pig, a chicken, or a sheep. All of our paintings are super cute and super easy! Perfect for all ages! Your art time will last for about 15 minutes.
Now it’s time for food and cake! Your hostess will lead you to your party area where you can enjoy any food you would like to bring or have delivered. You will have about 30 minutes for food and cake.
Last, we end the day with a hayride. After your hayride, your hostess will lead you to where you can pick up your paintings and any goody bags or party favors you would like to bring while you say goodbye.
What if I'd like to hire a professional photographer? We've got you covered. We have a farmtastic photographer whom you can reach out to. We've known Jen with Freckled Flower Photography for over 10 years now and she is very familiar with the farm. She hosts special photoshoots here throughout the year. You can contact her directly if interested: contact Freckled Flower Photography here!
What if we want to hire characters, face painter, ect.? Our parties are packed with farmtastic fun and are always a huge hit with both kids and parents! If you are looking to add even more fun, we recommend our pony rides or a unicorn visit! If you would like to hire entertainment from outside vendors you will have to skip one of our activities (Example: princess meet and greet instead of painting or hay ride).
Do you provide food? We do NOT provide any food items. Please be sure to bring food, snacks, cake and/or cupcakes, candles, beverages (no adult beverages please), coolers, ice, plates, napkins, any utensils you may need, as well as a utensil for cutting and serving cake. Don’t forget the candles! WE DO NOT ALLOW STERNOS. You may bring an electric hotplate to keep food warm.
Where should we order food from? There are several places that deliver to the farm on a regular basis.
Chick Fil A Hickory Flat (678) 493-0091
Domino’s Hickory Flat (678) 493-8282
Papa Johns Hickory Flat (770) 720-1955
Please ask that your food be delivered at 11:15, 2:15, or 5:15, depending on your party time slot. The delivery address is 208 Roper Road, Canton, 30115. Ask them to pull in at the entrance with the red barn mailbox and park up front, then walk to the back of the farm and find one of the farm chicks in pink :)
Do we need to bring decorations? Your party area is fully decorated and adorable, but you are welcome to bring balloons, banners, and centerpieces to decorate. All of our tables already have cute red and white and/or black and white checked tablecloths, but if you would like to swap them out and bring your own that is fine! The dining tables use 3 standard size disposable rectangular tablecloths and the 2 food/cake tables use 1 each (2 rectangular for the art barn and 1 rectangular and 1 round for the tractor shed). We do ask that if you bring balloons that they stay up front by the gift table or in your party area. They might scare the animals.
What about parking? One of our farm team members will be up front to let you know where to pull in. Please ask your guests NOT to park on the street. We have a designated parking paddock on your right when entering the farm.
Is there anything prohibited on the farm?
YES, see below for a list of Farmer Sue’s birthday no-no’s:
No Smoking/Vaping
No Adult beverages
NO PINATAS
Gift bags are preferred with NO metal/wire twist ties - they look yummy to chickens when they are on the ground.
