Michigan Farm Fun

We're excited to share the news about Critter Barn's new name: Michigan Farmstead - Critter Barn! 👍😀

Introducing… Michigan Farmstead! 🌾

Over the years, we’ve grown from a one-barn petting zoo into so much more—a destination, an education hub, and a partner in agricultural education.

Our mission hasn’t changed. We’re still dedicated to teaching about farming and agriculture while inspiring people of all ages, and all abilities, through the miracles in nature found at the farm.

Our new name reflects where we’re headed and the bigger vision we have for agricultural education across Michigan.

We may still have barns—and, of course, critters—but we’re so much more than that.

Different name. Same heart. A bigger vision.

Welcome to Michigan Farmstead! 🌱

"This maze became so much more meaningful to us than we ever could have imagined," orchard owner Marah Robinette said. A portion of proceeds goes to Parton's Imagination Library.
