Visiting a farm is always a fun day trip in Maine. Especially since there are so many great ones to explore. We love the ones that whisk us off into pumpkin patches in the fall and the ones that let us pick our own flowers in the summer. But when we heard about this one unique activity we decided that this might be our new favorite farm experience!
Sunflower Farm Creamery in Cumberland is a lot like Disney World.

That is, if your version of the happiest place on earth is wide open spaces, adorable animals, and the absolute nicest farmers on earth. To us, that’s pretty much perfection. And if you’re a Mainer visiting doesn’t include a plane ticket, expensive mouse ears and a hotel stay.

Sunflower Farm’s goal is to operate in a way that those who love animals can feel good about and one visit during bedtime makes that clear.

The farm raises goats and each one has their very own personality. Not only does the farm know the name of each and every one (of course!) but they also understand what each one needs to thrive.

Visiting the goats is always fun, but we especially love the twice-weekly event that allows visitors to take part in their bedtime routine.

Each night that this fun event takes place, 20 visitors can take seats on one of ten hay bales to listen to the goats fall asleep to the sounds of Skip, Leap, Boom, the new board book from the farm.

Visitors will also be able to snuggle the goats just before they head to bed.

And if you’re lucky, the visit will be when the goats are still young enough to where their adorable pajamas.

This is a great way to make sure some adorable baby goats get sent to bed peacefully, while also winding down yourself.
