Families can visit to Davis Farmland during April vacation week and say hello to the many baby animals on the farm.

"Davis Farmland is home to the largest collection of endangered farm animals in North America," Sacco said. "We has all kinds of rare breed animals, but you actually get to go into the pens of the animals. You can pet, you can cuddle, you can feed the babies."

The latest addition? Baby lambs –six of them.

"Everyone is healthy, everyone if thriving and they are just so cuddly," Sacco said. Depending on your visit, you may even witness them being bottle fed.

Finnsheep are know to have larger litters, but as Sacco said "having six, healthy, thriving babies is definitely quite the feat for their mom."

There are four girls and two boys with the names Coffee, Cold Brew, Latte, Espresso, Mocha and Chai.

"We actually named them that because right from the time they were born they've been so full of energy," Sacco said.

The Animals Are Just the Beginning

"We have hay rides, pony rides and all kinds of play attractions," Sacco said. "Everything is geared for young children. We have a play village, we have a giant jump pad, a cow-struction site, giant slides, pedal carts; there are over 75 different events and attractions going on at Farmland."

Davis Farmland opens for April vacation on Thursday, April 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Friday, April 18, it will also be open from 9:30 to 4 and then from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. from April 19 through April 27.
