It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Petunia, the last of the three sisters: Rosie, Petal, and Petunia.
Thank you, Petunia, for all the love, joy, and memories you brought to Maplewood Farm over the years. You were the longest surviving of the three sisters, a true testament to your strength and spirit.
As old age gradually caught up with her, Petunia began to slow down, spending more time resting and sleeping. Over the last week, she started to lose interest in food. Thanks to medication and the attentive care she received, we made sure she remained comfortable and […]

Our sweet little alpaca is doing so well at the farm! You can now see him running around and having plenty of zoomies as he explores his surroundings.

Mom is doing great too and is patiently putting up with all of her son’s antics!

With the help of all of you, we’ve decided to name him Valentino, or “Tino” for short. Thank you to everyone who shared their suggestions and helped us choose the perfect name. FYI he loves rolling in dirt and mud!

Have you had a chance to meet Tino in person yet? We’d love to hear what you think of […]

At 12:30 PM on Friday, July 24, a moment we had been eagerly awaiting finally arrived as Verna went into labour.

Staff closely monitored the birth, but it soon became clear that things were not progressing as they should. The cria’s head and neck had emerged, but the rest of the delivery had stalled. After consulting with our veterinarian, staff discovered the cria’s legs were positioned incorrectly and stepped in to assist.

With guidance from our vet, lots of teamwork, some lubricant, and plenty of hand power, we were able to safely help Verna deliver her baby.

We are thrilled to share that […]

Meet Bert & Ernie!
A big thank you to everyone who sent in name suggestions for our two newest piglets!

We’re excited to introduce Bert and Ernie!
🧡 Ernie is the one with more orange coloring.
🖤 Bert is the darker piglet.

These two are full of personality and love attention. They already know how to get belly scratches and will happily roll right over for them!
Come by the farm and say hello to Bert and Ernie. We think you’re going to love them as much as we do. ❤️🐽

Did you know that our newest alpaca, Verna, is PREGNANT?! 🦙💕 That’s right—Verna is expecting, and her cria could arrive any day now… possibly even this week! 🎉

These sweet boys are 2‑month‑old Kune Kune piglets, and they’re already stealing hearts.

For their first week with us, they’ll be staying cozy inside as they settle into their new home. Once they’re a bit bigger, we’ll begin introducing them to our resident pigs, Petunia and Wilson!
