Adopt an Animal Anyone can adopt an animal at The Farm and become its parent. As an adoptive parent, help provide the food and care of your animal. It’s easy to adopt: choose your favorite Farm animal and adopt it for a year by making a tax-deductible donation. A Farm parent receives an adoption certificate and his/her name listed at The Farm. Your adopted animal stays at The Farm where it is cared for by Farm staff and welcome your visit regularly. For all practical purposes, some of the animals are sold when they reach maturity. For more information and to fill out an adoption form, visit fcgov.com/thefarm. The Farm Store Looking for a unique farm-related gift? The Farm Store is the place to shop. We are stocked with farm toys, puzzles, t-shirts, and novelties. The Farm Museum Take a walk through yesteryear’s farm era. See displays that depict farming from the turn of the century to the early 1930s including the Ross Proving Up House.. Guess what the mystery tool is and how it was used.
