About Us

Honey Hill Farm provides quality animal interactions to the public by operating long-term, seasonal petting farms at a variety of amusement parks throughout the country, as well through service of family events in the Cincinnati, Lexington and Louisville areas.

Founded in 1997 by animal lover Sally Powell, we are an established but growing family business with an emphasis on providing access to animals for children and families who would not otherwise have it. Our amusement park petting zoos help educate the public and spread our love for animals. Our animals are mostly domestic animals like goats, sheep, chickens, cows and equines, but also includes a few exotic animals like camels and kangaroos.
