Details:
Last year, all of our tulips were pre-picked. This year is completely different. We planted more than 380,000 tulips across 4.5 acres and for the first time ever, you can enjoy pick-your-own tulips throughout the festival.
About half of the field is already blooming earlier than expected. After a hard freeze followed by daily temperatures above 85°F, large sections of tulips are coming into bloom right now. Once tulips bloom, they typically last 10–21 days depending on temperature. With this unusual heat, we’re expecting blooms to peak closer to 10–12 days, which means the clock is officially ticking.
In addition to the tulip fields, your ticket also includes full access to Baby Animal Days petting Zoo, happening at the same time. Enjoy the baby animal petting zoo, farm attractions, and family activities across the property.
Optional add-on experiences include Bottle feeding baby calves, baby sheep, and baby goats.
🌷 We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm. Plan your visit and see all farm activities here: https://www.sweeteats.com/activities/
Details:
Bottle-feeding times for weekends sell out fast due to the limited number of feeding times. The weekday feeding times do not fill up as fast so if you want to guarantee a spot for a bottle feeding, we suggest coming out during any weekday as this will be going on every single day through May 10th. (Tickets will be available in Jan).

FAQ:
Is this included in the annual pass??
The baby animal specific petting zoo will be included to all annual pass members; however, the baby bottle feedings are an add on so those will need to be purchased separately.

How did we get these animals?
– Some of these animals are abandoned twins.
– Some of these babies are rescue animals from the surrounding areas.
– We have baby bull calves due to local dairy’s getting rid of non-milk producing animals.
– We have some that are babies from our own farm (Sheep, Goats & Chicks from our hatchery).
What do we do with the animals when this event is over?
– All animals that we will not be keeping for our petting zoo are available for adoption during and after the event.
Who is in charge of the health and wellbeing of the animals during this event?
– Sweet Eats has an inhouse animal ambassador who is in charge of the welfare, health & weight of the babies while they’re at the farm.
– We have a local Vet on call at any given time due to our large amount of farm animals we house on any given day.
