Baby Joey is the newest member on the farm! He arrived in August of this year. He came from a dairy farm and was unable to walk for three days so they were going to euthanize him. Thankfully the workers there fell in love with him and decided to try and save him. They made a promise to him they would find him a home. Through their search they found Laurie and the Funny Farm. Of course, Laurie could not say no to that cute baby face, so Joey came to live with Grandpop T-Bone and Uncle Yogi!
There are over 25 pigs at the Funny Farm, none more famous than Wilbur. Many people get pigs as pets and think they will act like dogs and are disappointed to find out they do not stay small and there is no such thing as a tea-cup pigs or mini-pigs. Pigs never stay small. Wilbur was found wandering the woods alone and into some busy streets. Wilbur was lucky to have found the Funny Farm. People from all walks of life love to see Wilbur and learn about pigs in general.
Eeyore is our gentle giant who is in his 50’s. He will often greet you by rubbing his nose on your back side! He loves to be loved on and will stand there for hours while you pet him. Eeyore is a guest favorite and can be seen following visitors around the farm.
Billy came to the Funny Farm in April 2018. Laurie rescued him from auction at 4 weeks old to save him from slaughter. When Billy came to the farm, he lived in Laurie’s house where he was bottle fed until he was old enough to live with the other goats. Lucky for him a beautiful young girl named Lilly came to the farm one month after him and they became fast friends.
Cooper came to the Funny Farm in 2005 and he is our most popular Alpaca! Cooper is approximately 19 years old and he loves to play. His antics can often be seen on our Funny Farm Facebook live show. Cooper was rescued from an imminent death because he had a curly tail. Breeders do not like Alpaca’s with curly tails because it often indicates they are sterile and will not be able to produce babies. Cooper loves sharing his enclosure with his best friend Yogi. You will often find him and Yogi playing together and greeting guests as they enter the farm.
Connor is our playful Emu that roams the Funny Farm. He came to the farm in July of 2021. He was a gift to Laurie from a farmer after he heard of the passing of Pinky our baby emu who had splay leg. Connor has grown up into quite the young man and can be seen running zoomies through the farm regularly. At speeds of up to 43 miles an hour, Connor puts on quite the show for visitors. Connor can also be seen showing off his signature dance moves and taking a bath in our duck pools around the farm.
