Phillips Petting Farm is a family-owned and operated mobile petting farm. We have bunnies, ducks, chickens, rabbits, goats, and pigs. We also have bearded dragons, a snake, turtles, and cockatiels.
Let us bring the farm to your next birthday party, church or corporate event, school, or daycare center. Children of all ages enjoy holding bunnies and petting an assortment of small farm animals. Children are thrilled to ride our miniature horse, Philip, and the young and old are fascinated to see our collection of creatures up close and personal.
I planned a Christmas story time for my grandchildren with a 'shepherd' and sheep/goats from Johnson Petting Farm. Everything went perfectly. Hannah arrived on time and set up the fencing in my backyard. The animals were adorable and very sweet / calm with the children (ages 1-10) as they fed and petted them. Beautiful animals that you just don't get to interact with everyday.
Many thanks to Hannah for being so friendly & kind while teaching my grandchildren about the animals. From the first phone call, everything went smooth and easy. Such a special memory for our family!
Hannah is just the best! The animals were a hit with the kids and one of the chickens even laid an egg! Both Hannah and her helper were so sweet to the kids. Phillip, the pony, was very gentle and let our 10 year old lead him around. Everything from the booking process, communication, set-up, take-down and flexibility and friendliness during the party was wonderful! I highly recommend Johnson's!
I had a farmer themed 1st birthday party for my son. The pony and petting zoo were a good addition. The kids loved the animals!
The Johnson Family Petting Farm was the perfect addition for my son’s party! The animals were so gentle & sweet and everyone was so kind. The petting zoo was the hit of the party & loved by the children (adults, too!) Thank y’all for making my son’s party a hit!
My son and our guest had a great time with the pony and petting zoo. The service was great and the owner was super friendly and responsive.
Phillip the pony was a hit at my daughter's birthday party.
The Johnson Family Petting Farm was fanatic to work with responding quickly. and answering all of my questions. They arrived on time and all of their animals behaved so well. It really made the party fantastic. I would totally recommend them.
Phillip was a delight for the children!
Our Johnson Family friend messaged us to know that they were running late but would absolutely still provide a full two hours of pony rides. That worked out fine since we had scheduled the two hours of pony rides in the middle of a three-hour party so it was just the final two hours.
Phillip's handler, Hannah, was lovely.
I had requested that the pony NOT have a unicorn horn (even thought it was a unicorn birthday) but something got lost in translation and he had one, but it was fine.
Overall, appreciated the communication and all went smoothly. Would definitely recommend.
My girls had an amazing time! Extremely professional!
Very great service.
My son's birthday went off without a hitch! The people from Phillips Farm were pleasant and friendly and very accommodating. The animals were great and everyone had a blast!
The petting zoo and pony rides are amazing!! The kids at the party had a ball! Phillips Family Petting Farm are very nice and friendly! Will book again.
The petting farm was a huge hit at my son’s two year old birthday party !! We had children from ages 1 to 10 attend the party and all the children enjoyed the animals. If you are looking for a petting farm, they are the one to chose. They are great and we could not have asked for a better party for my son.
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
Thank you, Kayla. We really enjoyed your party.
We had a baby goat named Rosemary at our neighborhood summer party. She was adorable and everyone loved her. I can send pictures later.
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
Thank you, Christy. We're so glad everyone had a great time.
We had Phillips Family Petting Farm come for my two year old's birthday party. I was worried about the possibility of rain, and they were extremely accommodating. They went above and beyond, in my opinion. When they came for the event it was perfect--perfect size, sweet animals, so much fun! We had tons of compliments on what a great party it was. We will definitely use them again!
We had hand led pony rides for our son’s third birthday party and everything was absolutely great! Mr. Phillips was kind and great with the kids, they all had such a good time
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
Thenk you, Lorin. It was a great party.
All the Kids loved the Petting Farm and were so fascinated by all the animals. I highly recommend Mr Phillips for any of your events. Thank You so much again
The petting pen was huge hit at my daughter's 2nd birthday party. The animals were very sweet and seemed to love the kids as much as the kids loved them. The setup was quick and arrival time was on schedule.
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
Thank you, Chrissie. Your party was great. Thank yo for choosing Phillips Family Petting Farm.
All the kids had a great time with the animals. Thanks for coming out and helping make our party a memorable one!
The kids and adults loved all the animals! The people were so nice and friendly! It was worth the money we spent! We had an amazing time playing and feeding the animals!
The theme of the birthday party was Boots and Bows. The pony made the day! All of the kids were so very excited.
They arrived just when they said they would and everything went off without a hitch!
I will definitely be using them again!
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
Thank you, Valeria. It was a great party!
We booked Phillips Family Petting Farm for our daughter's 1st birthday party. Even though she won't remember, it was a huge hit for all the other guests! Samuel was very friendly as well as knowledgeable when it came to the animals. They arrived early & were setup in no time for the kids to enjoy. If you are considering them for your next event, go for it! They will not disappoint!!!
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
Thank you, Kymlyn. Samuel enjoyed celebrating your daughter's birthday with you.
10/10 would recommend.
Awesome!! The people were very nice, it was entertaining, and organized. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a wonderful experience. I would recommend!!
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
Thank you, Shantavia. Your party was awesome. We had a great time also.
Phillips Family Petting Farm came for our daughter's birthday party & it was such a fun time thanks to them. The kids loved interacting with the bunnies! We would highly recommend them to everyone! Thank you Phillips Family Petting Farm!
Response from Johnson Family Petting Farm:
We're happy that our bunnies made your daughter's party so much fun. All the kids (even the big ones) were great! Thank you.
Wonderful and very pleasant experience with this business...Our grandbabies loved the pony rides and the animals in the petting farm..We highly recommend them..
We are a small school in Preston, GA and we booked Phillips Family Petting Farm to be a part of our annual Spring Fling. They brought their petting zoo and the creature encounter, and our students thoroughly enjoyed learning about the animals. The Phillips family were all wonderful and engaging with the students. We highly recommend them for any event.
The adults and kids had a great time with the animals. Will use again next year.
This was more than a pony ride for my grandchildren. They brought a small pony(perfect size) that was so friendly. The pony allowed my 2 and 4 year old grandchildren to touch and rub him, everywhere and he never flinched. Mr. Phillips offered educational facts on their level about the pony and his care. Mr. Phillips even went the extra mile when it started raining right after his arrival at our scheduled time he offered and came back the next day so the grandchildren could ride. We are beyond pleased and would and will recommend them to all our friends.
Omg! My daughter Imerie and her friends truly enjoyed their experience with Philip and Matteo. They didn't want them to leave! Thank you Phillips Family Petting Farm for making Imerie's 3rd birthday wonderful memory and her dream to ride a pony come true!

The Phillips family started this mobile petting farm in early 2013 by the Phillips family, who were called to Washington in the summer of 2019. The Johnson family bought the farm and continued the business. We are an Active Duty Army family and take our petting farm to the many places we are stationed. It's our hope that as children and adults encounter these animals, they'll gain a greater appreciation of God's wonderful creation.

Petting Farm requires a 10 x 10 area indoors or outdoors
Lead Rides requires a space to walk the horse
If space is an issue, we can bring our "mobile barn" that guests get to enter to see the animals.
