Spotlight on Farmland Farmers!



Farmer Tom: 3rd season Outside Farmer

What is your favorite thing about Davis Farmland?

“I think it’s very cool that Farmland is a sanctuary for endangered animals and it’s also such a great place to bring kids and play.”

How has working here benefitted you the most?

“I’ve met so many great people working here. I’ve learned a lot about animals and about all kinds of animals. But I really understand now how much work it takes to maintain a farm. People don’t realize how hard it is to keep a farm going every day.”

Who would you recommend Farmland to and why?

“Everyone and anyone with young kids; the spray park is so awesome. Definitely the best reason to come is the employees; the people who work here have fun interacting with the kids and families and you don’t get that anywhere else.”



Farmer Hillary: 1st season Food Service Farmer

What is your favorite thing about Davis Farmland?

“I love that kids can feel safe and have fun here. They get a little freedom from their parents’ watchful eye because their parents know the facility is so safe. Kids get to just be a kid and have fun here!”

How has working here benefitted you the most?

“Working here I’ve learned how to work as a team with everyone else on the farm; even people who I may not work directly with every day. It’s also been really rewarding working with guests because I feel like I’m making a difference by being here. When you are doing a great job you can see it on guests’ faces and it makes you want to keep making their day better.”

Who would you recommend Farmland to and why?

“I would recommend Farmland to everyone with kids. I tell all my little cousins’ friends about this place and they love coming here to interact with the animals. They love to feel like they’re helping the animals when they brush them with those little brushes. Whenever they visit, they always have a blast!”
