The Farm at Walnut Crekk in Sugarcreek, Ohio, is a great way to get to see an Amish Farm, tour a house,a dawdy house, barns and learn about the Amish lifestyle. But, then I did something I least expected to do. I took a wagon ride to feed exotic animals.
As we settled into the back of an Amish farm wagon, a gate was opened, and we were given small buckets of feed. A variety of animals came right up to us wanting their treat. There were zebras, emus, rheas, llamas, donkeys, a variety of goats, Rock Mountain Elk, white-tail deer,ostrichs and a group favorite, Vitanamese Pot-bellied pigs.
As we continued on our hour-long tour, we rounded a corner to see a group of giraffes. They were behind a fence, but we could hand-feed them. We tried to figure out which one was the tallest - 17 ft.- and which one had the prettiest spot patterns. Their spots are as individual as our fingerprints. We all laughed as 22-inch, pink and black tongues, quickly slurped up the treats right out of our hands.
Children and adults will enjoy The Farm at Walnut Creek. Only the giraffes are behind a fence. The rest of the animals come to the wagon to be fed.
