Have you ever wanted to try snowshoeing but didn't know where to start? Are you looking for a way to spend some time with your family outside this winter? Join us for a leisurely snowshoe hike through our sanctuary. Along the way, we will search for animal tracks and keep our eyes open for wildlife.

Save the date and spend a day at Windrush Farm Family Festival. Enjoy games, pony rides, arts & crafts, live music, barnyard animal exhibits, bake sale, plant sale, tractor rides $1,000 Cash Raffle... And there's always a miniature pony wandering around the farm looking for kids to become friends with or a clown hoping to find someone to help him blow up balloon animals.

Family Festival is the annual spring open house for Windrush Farm. It is a day when the farm welcomes the community to come and witness the wonders that happen at Windrush. More than 600 people attend Windrush Farm's Family Festival and proceeds from the day’s events will benefit Windrush Farm Therapeutic Equitation, Inc (W.F.T.E.).
