About the Festival

The Perfect Family-Friendly Way to Kick Off Summer

June is the most magical time of year at Swans Trail Farms, and this festival is why. Slow down, breathe in the fresh Snohomish Valley air, and spend a full day exploring real working farm life — the barns, the fields, the animals, and everything in between.

It's a chance for kids to connect with where food comes from, get hands-on with animals, and experience the beauty of strawberry season right here in the Snohomish Valley. Whether you're chasing baby goats or wandering the berry fields, there's joy at every turn.

Come for the animals, stay for the strawberries — and leave with a camera full of memories and a heart full of farm charm.

🐾

Baby Animals

Get up close and personal with the farm's youngest, softest residents. A real working farm experience for the whole family.

Strawberry Picking

🎡

30+ Activities

Ziplines, hay mazes, jumping pillows, cow trains, and more — hours of outdoor fun for kids and families of all ages.

Photo Moments

From the barns to the berry fields, photo opportunities are everywhere. Bring your camera and capture the season.

Meet the Animals

Your New Favorite Friends

There's nothing quite like watching a child's face light up the moment they hold a duckling or cuddle a baby goat. This is a more personal, unhurried experience — a real opportunity for kids to learn about and connect with life on a working farm. Our animal area is designed to feel intimate, not like a crowded exhibit.

Meet adorable baby farm animals including:

🐐 Baby Goats 🐑 Sheep & Lambs 🫏 Donkeys 🐄 Calves 🐣 Chicks 🦆 Ducklings 🐰 Rabbits 🐶 Puppies 🐱 Kittens ✨ And More!

Included with admission: Puppy holding, duckling & chick holding, bunny & kitten holding, animal barn access, and full petting barnyard — all part of a hands-on farm experience your family will talk about for years.
