FEED ZEBRAS! Escape to my 220-acre Lodge and Ranch. It’s a place where you can create memories through traditions to strengthen family bonds. I come from a close-knit Irish family, the 5th of 14 brothers and sisters. The name, 14 Oaks Ranch, came from each of my siblings selecting their own oak tree. The days may be filled with activities of safari, to feed the zebras, alpaca, buffalo, skeet shooting, archery, lawn game tournaments of shuffle board, horseshoes, bocce ball, cowboy golf… hikes to the creek or a hike to the Indian history showing how the native Indians ground oak acorns in grinding holes sprinkled near the creek. We invite you to build your experiential scrapbook. Choose your own Oak tree to begin creating your special Family memories and traditions. Escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Come and enrich your Story and create your History… at 14 Oaks Lodge and Ranch.
ANIMAL FARM is a group of musicians and educators whose lively performances entertain and engage children of all ages. Our stage show is a colorful blend of music, storytelling, hilarious antics and audience participation.
Animal Farm’s songs explore themes of social-emotional learning, community, self-expression, and the environment through the eyes of our furry, feathered, scaly and shell-dwelling friends. A pig gets greedy, a two-headed tortoise tries to get along with itself, and a baby bat struggles with his fear of the dark. Parents and teachers will enjoy the smart and perceptive lyrics. Kids will relate to the challenges and triumphs faced by the hilarious cast of characters. And everyone will love the fun and upbeat music!
Our 2018 album, We Are One, recieved numerous awards including Mom’s Choice, Parents’ Choice Recommended, and National Parenting Product Awards, and recieved a Kids First endorsement by the Coalition for Quality Children’s Media.
