Farm

FARM All programs are hosted at The Farm unless otherwise noted.

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.
