Abma's Farm Market & Petting Zoo: Hillsborough

A small but charming farm that’s clearly cared for with love. The animals looked healthy and well taken care of, and the whole place was impressively clean and organized. The best part was watching our little one light up with curiosity and joy as he met the animals seeing the world through his wonder made the visit completely worth it

We recently visited Abma’s Farm on October 31st. We do not celebrate Halloween and wanted to do something fun for the kids. Upon arrival it wasn’t busy at all which for me was nice. We booked our tickets online for $18 per adult or child. The market is so cute. It was really nice and clean. The produce was reasonably priced and fresh. I love how they have pasture raised eggs fresh daily. The petting zoo was sooo fun. It was $8 a bucket to feed the animals. I did feel like that was a little much but I do not know the cost of feeding farm animals so it may very well be reasonably priced. Nonetheless the experience was great. The animals look well taken care of and loved. The staff was nice. The hayride was nice to see the actual farm and all the effort they put into it. We got to go through the corn maze and pick pumpkins, which they had a huge variety. There were really cute photo opportunities with the scenery and decor. I’d rather visit a farm like this than a zoo where the animals look miserable. The only feedback I have is maybe having someone on the Hayride telling us about the farm, how it’s maintained, and the history of the farm. Someone like me is interested in those details and would have enjoyed an overview of how a farm runs. But the staff there did answer the questions we had. In all we will definitely go back.

Took our kids here for our daughter's 2nd birthday. We came specifically to see the ducks, which she loved watching swim around the pool. Once we walked in the rabbits ran right up to the edge of the enclosure to say hi to us. We loved feeding and petting them and all of the animals. The staff was incredibly friendly. The sensory/play barn area was very cute. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I came here on a weekend date after deciding we wanted to pet and feed some animals. This place was so unexpectedly fun. We had no idea there was a petting zoo in the area, but they have a ton of animals and it was so cool seeing the barn with the baby chicks and baby pigs. Fun for the whole family

Gorgeous, clean family farm! My kids aged 5, 4 and 1 loved it here (almost as much as I did!) So many happy, clean animals to pet and feed. So many workers taking great care of the place. They have a wide variety of animals and baby animals, a fun little play barn for the kids, and an adorable farm stand as well. We paid $8 for a fun little beach bucket full of animal feed that you get to take home. We had so much fun feeding the animals we bought a second bucket. This is a great place to bring kids. They are fenced in and it’s very hard for the little kids to run off or away from you the way the petting zoo is laid out. Highly recommend!
