Our story began a year ago, when my grandson Skylyn and his family moved to the farm. It was a moment of pure joy to imagine him growing up in the same country setting that had been so meaningful for his DaDa. However, as Skylyn navigated his new environment, I quickly realized that a little dirt on his hands and clothes was a big hurdle. With patience and encouragement from Mom Mom, Skylyn soon learned that getting dirty is part of the farm experience – and the adventure became irresistible. Before long, playing in the dirt with tractors and wearing his “boots” became his favorite pastime, and his enthusiasm grew every day.

When I retired in May, Skylyn’s love for the farm took on new dimensions. He would eagerly look for me in the garden and proudly announce, “Mom Mom – I got my boots on!”   His way of telling me he was ready to lend a hand is what started me thinking about the possibilities of sharing this joy with others. It became clear that the magic of the farm could extend beyond our family.

Thus, Bit of Serenity Farm evolved into a petting zoo experience with an added mobile option where we bring the zoo to you! Our current menagerie includes rabbits, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, pig, mini horses, and more – providing an immersive, hands-on learning environment for all ages. We are excited to announce that in Spring 2025, our mini horse Sugar is expecting, adding to the growing family of animals.
