Moo & You: Hugs With Hope

on April 14, 2025

Moo & You: Highland Hugs with Hope – Reserve your tickets now!

Fun for the Whole Family!

Come spend some one-on-one time with Hope, our sweet mini Highland cow, during this fun barnyard experience at Von Thun Farms in Washington, NJ!

Highland cows are known for their gentle nature, long shaggy coats, and love of attention and Hope is no exception. She lives for chin scratches, quiet brushes, and cozy cuddles. During your visit, you’ll get to groom her, take some adorable photos, offer her some treats, and soak up some slow, peaceful farm time.

You’ll have the chance to meet, hug, cuddle, groom, and snap photos with Hope – and even feed her a treat or two. A few of her sheep and goat friends will be there to join in the fun too!

Each visit is a 30-minute private experience, and your time begins promptly at the ticketed start time. Tickets must be purchased online in advance, and space is limited to 6 guests per group/time slot. These are our April dates—May dates coming soon!
