Year-Round Experiences
The Half Pint Experience
Feed • Brush • Pet • Learn • Explore
Come experience farm life the Half Pint way!
During this hands-on farm experience, you'll meet our herd of fluffy Scottish Highland and Highpark cows, Angus cows, and our adorable Kunekune pigs, while getting a glimpse into life with the animals we love.
Spend your visit getting to know their personalities, offering animal-approved snacks, brushing and grooming, giving plenty of pets and scratches, and snapping all the photos you'd like along the way. We'll share a little about our animals, their breeds, and everyday life on the farm while you simply slow down and enjoy being part of the herd.
Every visit may look a little different depending on the animals, weather, and season—that's part of real farm life!
All animal snacks and grooming supplies are provided. For everyone's safety, some interactions may vary based on age and the animals participating that day.

Pet and Paint
Paint • Pet • Create • Explore
Get creative, take your time, and enjoy a little farm company along the way!
During this relaxed 2-hour, self-paced experience, you'll choose a pre-sketched canvas and create your own farm-inspired masterpiece while spending time with some of your favorite Half Pint Farm animals.
Paint a little, pet a little, and move between the two at your own pace. Visit with our fluffy Highland cows and lovable KuneKune pigs, then head back to your canvas whenever inspiration strikes.
No painting experience is needed, and there's no instructor or pressure to keep up with a class. All painting supplies are provided—just come ready to create, relax, and enjoy some time on the farm.

Paint, Pet, Sip
Paint • Pet • Sip • Laugh
featuring: Purple Piglet Art Studio
Grab your favorite beverage and join us for an evening of painting, animals, and plenty of fun on the farm!
Unlike our self-paced Pet and Paint, this 2-hour experience is artist-led from start to finish. Your artist will guide you step-by-step through a featured painting, making it easy for beginners to create a piece they'll be proud to take home. No artistic experience required!
Of course, it wouldn't be Half Pint Farm without a little animal time. Throughout the event, you'll have opportunities to mingle with our Highland cows and other farm friends, snap some photos, and enjoy the unique experience of painting right here on the farm.
Paint, Pet, Sip is a 21+ BYOB event, so bring your favorite beer, wine, cocktail, or non-alcoholic beverage and make yourself at home. All painting supplies are provided.
Looking for an artist-led experience for guests under 21? Watch our event calendar for specially scheduled all-ages Pet and Paint dates.
