This is the most incredible treasure I have found. What the foundation stands for WITH the service & products they provide was just such a complete and spectacular day trip. also everywhere is immaculately clean.

I was hungry so I started at the Magnolia cafe & bakery where i had a hearty and yummy portions of caesar wrap (fries and a little coleslaw included) and apple juice. 10/10

heard they had puppies and walked maybe 15 seconds to the garden and pet center. still cold so not as much garden right now BUT 6 PUPPIES AND A BIRD NAMED CHARLIE THAT WILL BOP TO YMCA. they have items to sell and found out they make dog cookies on site too?! i grabbed a bunch of those and some other items in between cooing at the puppies. 2 silly puppies were in a giant pen where you are allowed to pet them!!!

so when buying the dog snacks found out they also sell human snacks so i was about to walk to the county farm store but got distracted by a thrift shop?! found some cards, activities i can do with my niece, & some comic books.

after got i got to the county store and bought some cookies and soup mix. this is clearly where the baking happens. this spot has other excellent small owned products that explain the origin and a blurb about the company. felt like a all in one farmers market in the best way.

visitors center is heavy in history but very well placed? a mini museum? a lady told me a little about the foundation and didn't realize Lamb Farms has really helped the community

i then saw cows do I did a quick pit stop in my car to drop off all my merch and sauntered over. Steve the word working angel told me about when they would be open but gave me permission to look at the cows by the fence.

WILL COME BACK ALONE, WITH FRIENDS, & MY NIBLINGS

My partner and I had a great Saturday morning at Lambs Farm. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. You can tell they take great care of the animals because they were docile and sweet. Prices for admission, food, and activities were very reasonable. We will definitely be back with our family again.

Hello! Camel rides What a nice surprise for us! Of course, the pony ride is still nice for the little kids. The camel is much higher.

We loved the free range cats and rooster. All the animals are awesome.... ducks, chicken, llamas, camels, geese, cows, chinchilla, snakes, turtles and so many goats and other animals. There's a petting area for the goats.

Staff is friendly and nice. There are benches and some shade to rest.

A nice array of animals that can be petted, fed, and/or interacted with. The $5 entry fee is more than reasonable; even if doubled to $10 it would still be worth it. Plan to spend 1 to 3 hours. Small children will love it.

Lambs Farm in Illinois is an incredible place that truly makes a difference in the lives of people with developmental disabilities. Their mission is to provide meaningful employment, residential opportunities, and a strong sense of community for those they support. Visiting Lambs Farm is always a heartwarming experience—from their charming café and petting zoo to the shops and businesses where the residents work with pride and dedication.

What makes Lambs Farm so special is the way they empower individuals to live fulfilling, independent lives while being part of a supportive and loving environment. The kindness and dedication of the staff, volunteers, and residents are truly inspiring.

I’m grateful for all that Lambs Farm does to create a place where people of all abilities can thrive. If you haven’t been there yet, I highly recommend visiting, supporting, or even just spreading the word about this wonderful organization. Thank you, Lambs Farm, for the positive impact you make every day!

It was worth visiting the place earlier the day. Me and some group of people visited the place, where you were able to pet the sheep, goats, some farm cats, which they were friendly, beautiful white pigeons/ doves, etc… one or two goats wanted some pets from us. There were chickens and some roosters too. There’s also a pet center to where you were able to meet a 33-year old cockatoo named,”Charlie.” I saw some puppies, and there was a mixed breed puppy that loved to get pets and played around with a toy. They were also selling kittens, and you can go to hangout with them by doing a form. The kittens were around 2-3 months.

BEST FARM IN LAKE COUNTY!!
We had a wonderful time at the farm. We went during the pandemic and despite of the restrictions the visit was memorable. The place has lots to offer for kids. They have rides, cafe place, farm animals, picnic spot and playground. It’s definitely kids favorite farm. You get to feed the animals. 😊
