Fall Farm Day

Avery Family Farm is a small local farm in Durham, NC. We have goats, horses, sheep, ducks, pigs, geese, cats, and dogs. With a passion for sustainability, the healing power of animals, and through reconnection with nature, we strive to provide safe events for people to release stress and find joy. We have been hosting farm events and goat yoga since 2016, along with our children's programs. Check out our seasonal farm products while you are here. We look forward to connecting with you!
