We are passionate about a few things…

People: Creating a space for kids, adults & the community to relax in a country setting, visit with animals, take a class or read a book or two.

Animals: Providing a place for animals to live out their lives safely, happily and as nature intended.

Books & Reading: Bringing kids & animals together in FRIENDSHIP through the READING, LEARNING and the LOVE of BOOKS!

 

 

The Core Values of Ladybug Junction Farm are Integrity, Friendship, Creativity and FUN…for the animals we adopt and for the people who visit our farm. 

Using the educational classroom of nature, our goal is that both animals and humans feel inspired to be who they are and to live their lives as nature intended!
