𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿

@westmeister_farm is an absolute hidden gem, located just over an hour from Columbus! If you’re an animal lover—or have one in your family—you’re in for something truly special. My daughter and I had the chance to visit, and it was nothing short of magical. She got to meet animals she’s only ever dreamed of seeing up close.

The private tour gave us two full hours of one-on-one time with the animals. It was just the two of us, and we got to visit, hold, feed, and interact with some of the sweetest creatures you can imagine.

Some of the animals we visited included:
• Capybaras
• Kangaroos
• A zebra
• Otters
• Prairie dogs
• An armadillo
• A three-day-old calf
• A skunk (don’t worry—no spraying involved!)
• Owls
…plus many more!

I’ve asked my daughter several times what her favorite animal was, and she still can’t decide. That says everything—it really was the perfect day.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆, and they’re in high demand. They only release dates a few times a year on their website, and they go fast (you’ll see why once you go—or even just watch my video!).

Pro Tip: If you don’t see any available dates, don’t give up. Bookmark their page and check back daily. I’d been checking regularly and finally snagged a time that worked for us just the day before our tour. So worth the effort!

It’s an easy drive from Columbus, and I promise—it’s worth the trip.

✨ 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 ✨

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Jocelyn McKinley — a local Columbus-area mom, Occupational Therapist, and founder of WildChild Occupational Therapy!
