Sarah Barkheimer

Barkheimer Barns is a small, family-run farm-experience venue and agritourism operation offering a mix of animal encounters, farm tours, and community-oriented events. Under Sarah Barkheimer’s management, the property has been transformed from a traditional 35-acre farm into a creative, welcoming space where people — especially families and animal lovers — can meet and interact with a variety of friendly farm and exotic animals (such as goats, mini-cows, and even giraffes or sloths during special events). The venue hosts seasonal markets and festivals (like a farmers’ market, craft events, holiday-themed parties, and art-and-animal experiences) that combine farm life, nature, and leisure activities. Barkheimer Barns also once operated a self-serve, 24-hour flower stand on the property — reflecting Sarah’s interest in flowers, crafts, and small-business entrepreneurship. Overall, the space embodies a quirky, hands-on, down-to-earth approach to entertainment and community engagement: a rural farm turned into a family-friendly gathering place where visitors can connect with animals, enjoy nature, and participate in events that promote creativity, relaxation, and local small-business culture.
