Farm Visits

We are so excited to announce our baby goat program.  We have partnered with Rise & Shine Acres for our first baby goat program here at Rusty Bucket.  We welcome the baby bucks (wethers) to the farm for a bottle feeding and socialization program until they are ready to go to their forever homes.  If you are interested in learning about the goats, interacting with them as they grow and be a part of their development, make a reservation today for Playtime with the goats.

We are excited to announce our baby goat feed and play experience. Reservations for this experience begin  March 15.  You can sign up to come bottle feed and play with the baby goats. If this experience isn't on your bucket list, it should be! There is nothing more fun about a farm than, feeding the babies their bottles. This is a limited time experience, so don't wait to visit the farm and play with the littles. 

Experience a farm like no other.  A day on our farm, is a day in the pasture and barn, working with and for the good of the animals.

Have you ever wanted to live on a farm, visit a farm, or experience the day-in and day-out activities a farm has to offer?  Have you ever been invited into a pasture with all the animals and become one with them as a herd member?  

Join us this summer for an experience of a lifetime.  Rusty Bucket Acres is the farm that provides a home for our animals that allows them to interact and support each other every day.  Our animals choose to be together and teach us how to get along with one another despite our differences.  Our mission is to excite the young and old alike to embrace farm-style living.  Join us fro a hands-on, fully interactive  and therapeutic experience as you work the farm from within the fence.

Farmhands & Bucketeers

Need a vacation?  Consider a different kind of retreat. Bask in the open spaces or wander into the hidden hills of Afton, the farm is perfect for anyone 16+ and what better way to get refreshed than to make a barnyard friend's perfect.  A working farm day is the perfect antidote to the past year or so of disruption and isolation.  And while you could (and should) head for one of the high-end agricultural retreats across the U.S. (the iconic Blackberry Farm in TN, or Northern California's plush-yet-laid-back Farmhouse Inn), there's luxury of a different sort to be found at rural working farms.  It's good for the soul to immerse yourself among the animals, walk through a quaint pasture shared by a diverse family of animal friends, or to wander through their space and know you have helped offer support to them.  Being a working-hand at a therapeutical farm lets you do all of those things, feed the soul, collect an array of unique experiences to talk about and give an independent farmer financial support.  Rusty Bucket Acres needs helping and eager hands.  Sign up today for a Farmhands & Bucketeers experience.  

A Bucket Party takes you and your group on a special Rusty Bucket Acres adventure.  You will experience all aspects of the farm including:  feeding the animals, spending time with the animals, and learning about the animals. You will be lead on an interactive and therapeutic visit while developing relationships with the animals and learning about the choices they make at the farm.  You will learn the importance of their relationships with each other and our visitors.   You and your group will get to enjoy what happens outside the fence and what happens inside the fence of Rusty Bucket Acres’ barnyard family when you choose to spend your special day, here at the farm.  Schedule the Bucket Party to experience a completely unique encounter and make life-long memories for you and your group.  

A Pasture Party will take you and your party on a memorable excursion with the animals.  You will experience all aspects of the farm including:  feeding the animals, spending time with the animals in their own environment, and learning about the animals. You will be lead on an interactive and therapeutic visit while developing relationships with the animals and learning about the choices they make at the farm.  You will learn the importance of their relationships with each other and our visitors.  Following your in-pasture experience your party will enjoy a pasture-side gathering area to celebrate your birthday.  Treats and beverages will be provided for your birthday celebration.  This time offers special bonding moments, laughs, memories and a time to focus on the birthday person.  RBA will provide props for special photo moments and upload all photos to our online gallery, where you can see and download all the pictures of your choice.  Schedule a Pasture Party to experience your very own unique birthday memory.  

The ultimate farm experience happens with the Barnyard Party.  You and your guests will spend your day making memories, sharing laughs, and learning about and bonding with the animals.  Your experience will begin with a RBA welcome greeting and snack time for the barnyard friends at our welcome gate.  Once we enter the pasture, you and your guests will experience the animals firsthand and develop the loving cuddly relationships with them.  We will share stories and knowledge about the animals and have a completely interactive and therapeutic experience while moving throughout the pasture, chicken run, coop and barn.  RBA will take photos and provide props for special photo moments and upload all photos to our online gallery, where you can see and download all the pictures of your choice from you special day.  Following our special in-pasture experience, we will celebrate your birthday with treats and beverages, share our special gift to the birthday person and do a farm-inspired craft everyone can take home as a memory of their day on the farm.
