The “Coffee with Critters” farm experience in Mariposa lets you enjoy coffee and breakfast while interacting with farm animals.

You’ll arrive at the homestead, enjoy a breakfast of coffee, plus fruit or a pastry, then grab snacks for the animals.

You’ll be given carrots and grapes to feed the horse, donkey, goats, and pigs. Then give treats to the hens and ducks. You might be able to hold a baby chick if the mother hen allows it.

There are a total of four animal enclosures. To schedule a tour, visit the Airbnb page and select the date and time you want to arrive.

The farm also has beautiful free range rabbits inside a garden. The lop eared bunnies hop around searching for greens to eat.

When you book this experience, know that 100 percent of your fee goes to supporting the animals at this homestead.

All of the animals on the small homestead are rescued. Ruth, the owner, also has four rescue dogs that live in harmony with the animals on the ranch.

She notes that if you’re scared of dogs to let her know when you book and she’ll confine them before your visit.

Be sure to wear comfortable and sturdy shoes since some enclosures have rocky and uneven terrain.
