Rolling Hills Red Deer Farm
Farm
ππ I ABSOLUTELY recommend visiting this farm! The deer are gorgeous and mostly friendly. They come right up to you in the wagon and allow you to pet them. The owners are a lovely couple who have been farming for the better part of their lives and are just the sweetest. 10/10!!

π An employee here was more frightening to deal with than any scary encounters I may have in the park
When they finally got back to me I was treated with hostility by an employee that was clearly hopped up on an unknown foreign substance.
