🐐 Farm Animal Adventures
Experience the Heartbeat of the Farm
From baby goats and brooding chicks to Red Devon cattle and pasture-raised chickens, Hungry World Farm is alive with animals that both delight guests and play a vital role in soil regeneration. In 2024, our animal systems expanded across several zones—from the Homestead Animal Education Area, where visitors meet goats, sheep, rabbits, and laying hens, to rotationally grazed pastures hosting cows, Dorper sheep, and mobile chicken coops. James and Sarah Nicholson care for each creature with deep compassion and regenerative intent—rotating flocks and herds across fields to mimic natural cycles, improve soil health, and build carbon-rich, resilient pastures.
Every animal on the farm is part of a bigger story: kids collect eggs and feed chicks in the brooder, school groups brush baby goats and watch sheep move to new paddocks, and overnight guests pause to meet the guardian dogs who protect the flocks. These creatures help us teach thousands of visitors about sustainable agriculture and the sacred connection between animals, land, and people.
👉 Join us for a hands-on experience that brings farming to life—hoof, feather, and all.
Beyond the barns and pastures, the wild edges of Hungry World Farm are home to deer, rabbits, songbirds, foxes, and more. Keep your eyes open on a quiet walk — you just might spot nature’s shyest residents making their way through the woods, meadows, and creek beds we work hard to protect.
Graceful and alert, deer roam the edges of our fields and forests. Keep your eyes peeled during early morning or dusk walks at the Upper Farm pasture—you might spot a herd grazing quietly or bounding into the trees.
From red-tailed hawks soaring above the pastures to swallows skimming low over the garden, our farm is alive with birdsong and flight. Bring your curiosity—and maybe a pair of binoculars—and discover the diversity of feathered friends who call this place home.
These burrowing mammals are often spotted near the edges of our garden, munching on vegetation or scurrying to their dens. Their presence is a testament to the delicious veggies we nurture.
Our clear, babbling creek is home to schools of tiny minnows. Wading in the shallow waters, you can observe these quick swimmers darting between rocks and plants.
These nocturnal visitors are known for their masked faces and curious nature. Keep your garbage locked up or you'll find evidence of their nighttime adventures come morning.
