Helping Friendly Farm (New Hope, PA):
Two hour sessions by appointment-only include time with goats, donkeys, pigs, and chickens. Visitors can also dig for fossils, play in the rock garden, sort gemstones, pick organically grown vegetables, and play the instruments on the musical pathway. Each visit also includes admission to the Sensory Barn, which houses a light and sound room, yoga/meditation room, and an occupational therapy gym.
While designed for families of people with disabilities, ALL ages and abilities are welcome! The cost is $30 per participant, with two caregivers free of charge. Sessions are either 10:30-12:30, or 1-3 pm. As we are a 501(c)(3), we happily accept donations, too! Visit THIS LINK to book an appointment, and watch a reel of the farm on Lower Bucks Family Events’ Instagram.
