Mount Ulla, NC — Patterson Farm Market & Tours invites families to celebrate the season at its annual Barnyard Baby Days, returning April 18–19, and 25–26, 2026. This springtime tradition gives guests the opportunity to meet the farm’s newest arrivals—including baby goats, lambs, chicks, and more. Open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a limited VIP Early Access hour from 9–10 a.m., the event combines hands-on animal interactions with classic farm experiences in a welcoming, family-friendly setting.
In addition to visiting barnyard babies, guests can take scenic wagon rides around the farm, enjoy cow train rides for younger visitors, and explore PawPaw Carl’s Playground and the Agmagination Area. The event also features spring-themed photo opportunities throughout the property, scheduled Farmyard Friend meet-and-greets in the Barn Theatre, and interactive animal feeding with a complimentary feed cup included with admission. VIP Early Access offers a quieter, more intimate experience for those looking to enjoy the animals and attractions before general admission begins.
In addition to the event attractions, guests can visit the on-site market and ice cream shop for homemade ice cream, fresh donuts, and other seasonal treats. Tickets are available online, with children under two admitted free, and advance purchase is recommended due to limited capacity and timed entry.
