Wisconsin isn’t the first place people think of when they think of rare, unique and exotic animals, but as an area known for farming and livestock, adding in more unusual animals isn’t exactly a stretch. With plenty of open farmland and people experienced with raising animals, Wisconsin is a natural location for an exotic animal farm. Up in Sister Bay, you’ll find a family-owned farm where the owners started with llamas but quickly found that they had the room — and love — to welcome all kinds of interesting animals. They quickly added Bactrian camels to their menagerie and now they’re one of the coolest possible places you could visit in Wisconsin. Stoneboat Farms in Door County is a special, licensed spot where you can get up close and personal with some gorgeous, wonderful and unique animals.

Please note, Stoneboat Farms is no longer in business.

If you thought the only exotic animals you could see in Wisconsin were from afar at the zoo, you couldn't be more wrong. There are a couple of places here where you can get up close and personal with unique animals, but Stoneboat Farm Exotics up in Door County is especially unique.

That's because this cool little family-owned farm is home to Bactrian Camels — there are only about 800 of them in the entire country and Stoneboat Farm even has some rare white Bactrians.

Stoneboat raises and cares for the animals here themselves and they are USDA Class C Licensed. They even work as a place to rehab animals that need extra care. This is truly a labor of love for the owners.
