Granite Oak Farm - Harrisville, New Hampshire

Easy to find and great set up. My daughter turned 19 and is going to college to become a vet tech, so cuddling a cow seemed like a great idea. We had a 60 min cuddle session with Biscuit. He is really cute and much softer than I imagined. The barn is clean and warmed by heaters. The gentleman inside the barn was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered our questions. Our next cow that we want to sit with is Lily.

We drove through a storm from Boston to see Biscuit-it was my husband’s Valentines present, and we were so happy! The owners were so kind, generous and patient. We had an absolute blast- Biscuit cuddled up, played, let us pet him extensively (and brush him). He was a dream. And getting to and from the farm was so easy-great directions and parking. We want to come back in April! Very worth it, and so therapeutic-animals really are the best. Thanks again, Brian and Laura!

Went to Granite oak farm so my bestfriend could cuddle a mini highland cow, and man did we get our moneys worth! Barley was a sweetheart and the only thing I wished is that we could’ve stayed longer! We will definitely be back to cuddle biscuit and of course Ms. Peppermint. The staff is wonderful and made us feel welcomed. 10/10 would recommend!

Laura and Brian are absolutely amazing. They both helped to facilitate the most wonderful proposal for my fiancee and I. What they did for us was incredibly kind and wholesome. (Laura even got emotional as I said yes, so sweet!) The most wonder proposal aside, the farm is amazing! Cows are my favorite beings on earth and getting to sit with the babies was amazing! Thank you Brian and Laura for your kindness and also your hard work to make this happen! Can’t wait to come back!

We had so much fun with Peppermint yesterday! She is so sweet and her ears are incredible! She was up and enjoyed lots of pets and brushing and chin scritchies before she settled down for some snuggles…she’s soooo soft and warm, perfect for a chilly day! Had a great time and would recommend for any one who likes animals or cows or snuggling lol 🥰🐮

Amazing!!!! Granite Oak Farm is so worth the visit. Brian and Laura have a beautiful farm and awesome animals. Easy to travel to with clear instructions on what to expect as well as what is expected of you as a guest. Not only did this experience meet our expectations, it exceeded them. We had a lovely visit with Peppermint. The description of her personality was spot on. I cannot wait to go again so I can meet the rest of their cuddle crew. Would do again in a heartbeat!!

Biscuit was definitely feeling the pull to breakfast, however, we had a wonderful time with him yesterday morning. He was munching and crunching while I petted him and we were both happy as can be. As a note, though, he WILL try eating your shoe laces as that is his vice! But despite his mischievous shoe lace eating abilities he is a very sweet cow. I have never been around a cow for an extended period of time, and went in with no expectation of how things would go. He seemed okay with us being there and I tried my best to gage his energy level, because, hey, animals have energy budgets too. We saw Peppermint in the stall next door, and she was my second choice if I wasn't able to spend time with Biscuit. However, I'm very glad that I did. Being with him was a grounding experience, and he really is a sweet little guy. Next time I will come back and visit with Peppermint (and Barley too!) Though I wish there was a way we could pet all three at once, it just means we will have to make many return visits. 💗

EDIT: visited again on 7/27/24 with my Mom and she LOVED it! We let her pick a cow and she chose Barley. He was very chill that day and we all got to love on him. She had been dealing with some stress and watching her interact with him was so sweet. He was so relaxed and calm, and we really enjoyed our time with him. Just like Biscuit, he has a great personality. We got to see Lilly but next time we hope she'll be available to visit with.

EDIT 2: My husband and I visited yesterday (10/12) with Peppermint and though we were a tad behind due to traffic on 101, we never felt rushed or hurried. Peppermint has A LOT of personality and she was keen to give us both many licks. She definitely is the frisky one of the bunch but that shouldn't stop anyone from spending time with her. She's a very sweet cow and she's got the most beautiful markings. I make stuffed animals as a side hobby and felt inspired by Peppermint to design a cow (usually I craft sheep).

We also booked The Herd experience which was wonderful also! I've always wondered where one could spend time amongst the goats and sheep that wasn't in a fair setting, and this answers the question. Some of the herd aren't sure of humans who aren't their owners, while some are very eager to say hello. If you're patient enough one or two from the skiddish gang might come close enough to say hi.

My cousin and I visited the farm to cuddle with Lilly and were NOT disappointed. I found Granite Oak Farm on TikTok and am so happy I came across their page. We had the best time cuddling with Lilly! We could tell all the cows are well loved and taken care of. Brian was very knowledgeable and we learned so much from him. We are already planning our next visit!
