About Us

Do you miss the opportunity to go to Grandpa's and Grandma's  farm? The next best place is Erickson's Petting Zoo of rural Osakis,MN. This 94-year-old farmstead used to be home to milk cows. Third generation farmers Dave and Pam Erickson, alongwith their family- have converted the big red barn into a home for a wide variety of farm animals and birds.

Animals include pygmy goats and their kidds, sheep, minature horses, minature mules, Sara our llama, and her newborn son Buddy, pot-belly pigs and babies, all kinds of rabbits, our own cat pen and new this year is Samson and Caesar the Alpaca's.
Birds include: many varities and colors of chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants, peacock's, pigeons, and doves.

We are open seasonally full time.  We do have some people come out during the winter. Just call ahead to set-up a time.

Many families, daycares, school groups and youth organizations have come to see us.  Make plans now to come and visit us.  We keep our rates reasonable, so you can come back often.

We are USDA Licensed, inspected and insured farm. Animals like to be fed, (we have corn available for a small fee). Please remember that animals have teeth, so need to be careful with little fingers. When you are finished petting the animals, we have anti-bacterial hand sanitizer to wash your hands with.
