These all cotton wash cloths will clean up any spills from the fresh blueberries and fluff up nicely and only get softer since they're machine washable!

Daytrip to Ray of Light Farm Animal Rescue | Fun Things to do with Kids | East Haddam Connecticut

The Ray of Light Farm, a Horse and Donkey Rescue Farm in East Haddam, Connecticut, is a fun and educational place to visit with kids and grandkids.

Ray of Light Farm - Animal Rescue

While babysitting the grandkids one summer morning I thought it would be fun for them to visit the farm.

The kids said they'd been there before for an Easter Egg Hunt, and my youngest daughter and I had been there last fall to take her two littles.

Farm Animals and Party Events

We were able to tour the farm at our own pace.  I like to mention to the kids that the animals are rescue, and this is their new home.  My grandkids were encouraged to make a donation in the donation box to help house and feed the animals.

We saw horses, donkeys, chickens, pheasants, llamas, and goats.  Last time there was a turtle and turkey there.

This time there was a pre-school group visiting, and we tagged on the end and were able to help feed the guinea pigs lettuce, which the grandkids enjoyed doing.

The farm also has a party room and sponsors events.  The kids can tour the stables, and wagon and pony rides are offered.

A non-profit organization, Parking and Admission are free, but again, donations are encouraged.
