THE ENCOUNTER

Hands-on time with foxes from four species

You’ll step into the enclosure, interact with several foxes, and observe distinct personalities up close—feeding, petting, and learning about what makes each species unique in a setting capped at four guests for intimacy.

THE GUIDANCE

Expert handlers ensure safe, informative interactions

All contact happens under the direction of an experienced handler who provides species-specific context, safety briefing, and instruction so guests can engage responsibly and learn about fox behavior.

THE SETTING

A farm visit that extends beyond the enclosure

After the encounter you’re free to explore the rest of the farm and meet other animals, turning a focused wildlife interaction into a broader agrarian visit.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

Compact and carefully managed, the session moves from a brief orientation into an up-close, sensory experience: the soft brush of fur when you pet a fox, the small, quick movements as they take food from your hand, and guided explanation from handlers about species traits and individual temperaments—all in roughly 30 minutes before you disperse to explore the farm.
