PEMBROKE FARM FIELD GUIDE
The Barnyard Hangout: Hands-on Time with Goats, Pigs and Farm-Made Finds in Pembroke
A three-hour public window on Saturdays (11:00–14:00) for up-close meetings with goats, a friendly kunekune pig, gum‑ball-fed chickens and a farm store selling products made on-site.
The Barnyard Hangout: Hands-on Time with Goats, Pigs and Farm-Made Finds in Pembroke.
At Caprassion Acres outside Pembroke, the day centers on low-slung barnyard encounters: baby and adult goats that come within arm’s reach, a showy pig who rolls over for belly rubs, chickens that can be fed from a gum‑ball machine, and a farm store stocked with goods made from the animals’ produce — all offered during an open Saturday visit.

Baby and adult goats are the heart of the visit: interactive, photogenic and curious enough to leave tiny hoof prints on paths and clothing if you get close.
Pig Performances and Chicken Feedings
The visit highlights a friendly kunekune pig that entertains visitors with belly‑rub roll overs, and a hands‑on moment feeding the chickens via a gum‑ball machine.
Farm Store and Local Crafts
Beyond barnyard time, linger in the farm store for products made on the farm from the goats’ milk and visit the adjoining Farmhouse Primitive’s shop for candles and rustic pieces.
