  • Visiting the Petting Farm

When you come to the farm as a visitor, you can experience so much while you are here. Visit with our friendly animals. All aboard the Enchanted Express Train for a ride around the farm. You can also take a Cow Train ride or a Hay Wagon ride. Get a bag of Mine Rough and see what great gems and minerals you can find as you wash away the sand. Bring your lunch or a snack and enjoy a picnic under the trees in our maze or picnic area! You and your kids will have a great time in our wide open spaces. If you need a snack or drink while you are here, visit our Castle Store. You can also shop for the vegetables we raise right here on the farm while you are visiting.

You can find unique gift items in our Castle Store from Enchanted Forest books, shirts, and magnets to toys and treats to our children's books about Trusty the Tractor. There is something for everyone at Clark's Elioak Farm.
