At Drumlin Farm, you can experience life on a working farm and explore a wildlife sanctuary at the same time! This unique setting provides opportunities to delve into the interdependence of people, land, and wildlife. Visit pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, and cows in the farmyard; learn how crops are sustainably grown on-site; walk the trails to explore field, forest, and wetland habitat; and observe resident owls, hawks, and a fox in native wildlife exhibits.
