We come to you
The farm rolls right up to your event — no travel, no logistics for you.
A private experience
Your guests get the animals all to themselves for the full booking.
Professional setup & cleanup
We handle every detail from arrival to tidy departure.

More than a petting zoo
A guided, hands-on farm experience — not a pen in the corner.
Our handlers stay beside your guests the entire time, introducing each animal by name, showing children how to offer a gentle hand, and turning every interaction into a small moment of wonder. It is calm, personal, and paced for your crowd — the kind of afternoon kids describe for weeks.

Our story
A barnyard built on love.
Little Hooves & Friends started with two goats, three kids, and a backyard birthday that turned into something neighbors wouldn't stop talking about. Today, we're a family-owned crew serving Long Island with one mission: creating wonder.
Every animal in our care is hand-raised, deeply loved, and treated like family. Because the magic our guests feel? It starts with how our animals feel.
