Prairie Creek Kids Therapy Farm is a sensory stimulating, therapeutic farm filled with hands on educational experiences with heritage breed animals for all ages.
We offer several ways to visit the farm.
Individual Tours
You can schedule an individual tour to get an up close and personal hands on experience with the animals. You may get to watch a baby being born, bottle feed a goat or pig, play with baby emu or watch a chick hatch.
Field Trips
We can host 2 to 4 hour educational field trips for schools, homeschool, groups or families. We will provide interesting and unique information on all the different heritage breed animals that we care for at Prairie Creek Kids Farm. You will learn how we care for these special breeds. Your students can pet, groom, and feed each animal as they learn about them. You may get a chance to gather eggs from the nesting box, hunt for a turkey, guinea or emu nest, sheer fiber from an angora goat or llama or even milk a goat!
Goat Milking Classes
Individually scheduled sessions to learn how to milk a goat. Ask questions about feeding, grooming, breeding and caring for Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Goat Milk Soap Class
Attend one or two sessions and learn how to make goat milk soap for your family and friends. You may have the opportunity to milk a goat, make your own blend of soap, cut and label it. You will leave with a few bars that you have created with your own unique scent and coloring .
Party Venue (ON HOLD due to a recent house fire. We will continue this as we get the farm back in shape.)
We are now offering the farm as a private venue for birthday parties, reunions, weddings, or even a personal day of escape. Dates and times available by individual appointment. Contact us for more information 316-253-7653 or at prairiecreekkids@gmail.com.
