Who We Are
Badger State Farms is a family-run educational farm located in Wisconsin Rapids that connects people with animal agriculture and hands-on learning experiences. We create a welcoming farm experience for families, schools, animal therapy programs, community groups, and individuals looking to learn, connect, and grow through animal interaction. We run various programs most days year-round by appointment, with minimum group experiences starting at $50+. Reach out to schedule your experience at badgerstatefarms@gmail.com or 715-869-3223 (please text or leave a voicemail - if we do not answer).
Our farm is home to friendly, well-socialized animals that are comfortable working with children and adults. We specialize in educational farm visits, animal-assisted experiences, and programs that teach respect for animals, responsible care, and how agriculture fits into everyday life.
Badger State Farms offers a wide range of on-farm and virtual programs, including:
-
Get to Know the Animals' Experiences
-
Virtual animal rentals and interactive virtual farm visits
-
Educational workshops and seasonal farm activities
-
Programs for families, homeschool programs, schools, foster care, group homes, therapy groups, and senior communities
Live too far away from the farm but want to join a virtual experience with the animals. Virtual experiences start at $55 and vary based on your needs. These experiences are great for hands-on learning, and birthday groups are welcome to write to the animals after their visit or send them letters. Our virtual programs allow participants to interact with animals, learn about care routines, and ask real-time questions, making farm education accessible from anywhere. Your group will be the only one on the virtual experience, so we can tailor it to your child/family/group's preferences. We also offer this program for homeschool groups and have been running virtual educational classes with homework on a bi-monthly and monthly basis, year-round, for different groups. Message me if you want to create a program for your group (we can also do this hybrid for groups that are in person year-round, or during certain months).
