Mendo Lake Family Life

Pigs, Sheep, and Goats, Oh My!

A crazy quilt is made up of mismatched pieces that create a singular work of art. And that is just how Liam Jackson-Wyatt and Lyle Coburn, owners of Crazy Quilt Farm, see their homestead: “We’re a bunch of people who don’t match, but together we make something beautiful.” The pair will be hosting a Family Day so kids can meet some of the animal members of their farm family, including goats, pigs, sheep, chicken, ducks, and a miniature horse—all of which will be in the brand-new petting zoo. Besides critters, there will be games, and vendors selling candy, art, greeting cards, and more. And the farm store will offer sack lunches and iced drinks, so families can enjoy lunch outside. The event will be held on June 11, 9 a.m.–2 p.m., at the Crazy Quilt Farm on Highway 20 in Upper Lake. Admission is free; the petting zoo is $5 per person.
