Farm Stay (Vancouver, Pacific, Forks: house, vacations, area)

[Pogo]

Does anybody know of a place where a family can make a farm stay? You know like the kids can pet the animals and help out on the farm and such. Any tips?

We stayed at Fairburn Farm in Duncan on Vancouver Island BC when our kids were little. It's a B&B with seperate a 2 br cottage.

We found out about this place in a book about family vacations in the Pacific NW. There might be a more recent book. You could call the library and ask them.

If you'd like to fall under the magical spell of the west side of the Olympic Peninsula, there is a 200-acre farm, there for generations, and the owners operate their house as a B&B. It's near the town of Forks, bordering on the Hoh River and the Hoh Rain Forest, called Hoh Humm Ranch
The Hoh Humm Ranch

They have cattle, llamas, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, cats and wild birds whom they feed. You can connect, or not, with the animals, and they welcome children and adults who want to feed and pet the animals. My personal favorite time there is when I enter the gate to the goats' area and the three gorgeous white Great Pyrenees dogs check me out to see if I am an acceptable companion for their goats, then tell the goats "It's OK", I get to pet the dogs, and I get to feed the goats.
