A 20 acre boutique-style working family farm in Southern New Jersey.

Where hearts connect and memories are made.

At The Noren Family Farm, we believe animals have a special way of bringing peace to the soul. Our mission is to share the comfort, joy, and unconditional love of our animals through unforgettable experiences that create lasting memories and meaningful connections.

Welcome!

The Noren Family Farm was built from a lifelong love of animals, family, and the belief that some of life's greatest joys are found in the simplest moments.

What began as a dream is now a 20-acre family farm where visitors can experience the joy, comfort, and unconditional love animals bring. We hope every visit leaves you with lasting memories, meaningful connections, and maybe even a new favorite furry friend.

"Just when you thought the most perfect day for your wedding celebration could not get any better, add Dakota from The Noren Family Farm to make it magical! Mary and Matt are the most friendly and kind farm owners who attended our event with the most gentle, friendly, patient, and handsome Mini Highland Cow, Dakota. All of our family and friends were so overjoyed having Dakota celebrate with us! From the moment I connected with Mary you could tell the love she has for her animals and farm! The ease and professionalism Mary has to make your special event even better by having her farm friends at your special occasion just steals the hearts of everyone there! Thank you for making our celebration filled with life long special memories that will be forever in our hearts!"

"YES! I'll be recommending them to everyone! We booked to have Dakota the mini highland cow for my friends wedding. 10/10 experience all around! Mary was super easy to talk to and super sweet. Working out the details with her was a breeze! The day of the wedding they were right on time with Dakota who was so adorable and so friendly! Mary and her husband were kind and down to earth and they were lovely to work with. Seriously the BEST experience hands down."

"I loved visiting the farm! It was so cool to see all the different animals and learn about them from Mary. My favorite part was holding the babydoll lambs. I can't wait to go back again!"
