Madison Avenue- "Maddie"

When visiting with Maddie watch and enjoy her playful personality. Maddie is very good-natured and loves visits from friends. She is a bay, which means she is dark brown with a black mane and tail
Maddie loves to be around all kinds of farm animals. She often can be found hanging out with her goat friends!

No worries, MADDIE, sometimes wears a mask to protect her eyes and ears from the pesky biting flies.  She can easily see through the mask.  The mask provides her comfort and protection from the biting flies.

Please remember that horses have sensitive stomachs and we ask that you do not feed them.

Cortland is a steer who joined us at a few weeks old in the spring of 2025.   He loves the top of his head scratched and to rub his nose against you.  He gets overly excited for any food that people are willing to share.  He has grown into a spunky, fun, and loveable guy. 

Charlotte was rescued in the September of 2024 and joined our farm family when she was under a year old.  Nelli, a pot bellied pig, also a rescue, joined us later that year in November.  Their fun personalities are great additions to our barnyard family.

Val is our rambunctious, sassy girl who joined us in the spring of 2019. She is a brown and white Nubian goat with a curious and loveable personality.  Val resides in the horse pen with Maddie and Cortland. She has become a very good friend to Maddie, our horse.   Being raised here at Linvilla, Val is very social and loves meeting new people.

Fern joined us in the spring of 2023. A Nubian goat who now rules over the herd. She lost her sister and best friend to a heart condition in 2025 and was grieving until we brought in our newest goat friends.  They all share a space together and love to romp around!

Freddie Mercury, Elvis, and Bowie (Our newest Rock Stars!) - grew up with a loving family who often still visits them here on the farm. All three are Nigerian dwarf cross.  Freddie, tan with a unique single horn is bold and loves visitors. Elvis, in his white coat enjoys visitors and hanging with his best friends.  Bowie (David) is tan, very sociable and usually responds to his name when you call him.  

Who and Dini, were born on February 4th, 2024. They are a Pygmy/ Nigerian Dwarf cross. Named after the famous magician, these mischievous goats live up to their magical names, as they proved on their very first day at the farm by pulling off an incredible disappearing act, escaping their pen with astonishing agility. Who and Dini's playful and adventurous spirits make them the talk of the orchard, charming visitors with their antics and adding an extra touch of enchantment to the picturesque landscape of Linvilla Orchards.

Remi (Dorset sheep) The eldest sheep in the herd. He is apprehensive about meeting new people and coming over to say hi. Being the introvert of the group, he usually waits for everyone else to get a treat before he does.

Cameo (Hampshire sheep) Another herd introvert, Cameo can be easily spotted by his darker wool with his hair in his eyes. He will warm up to new friends after some time and always enjoys a treat or two!

Tangelo (Dorset Sheep) Cameo’s brother, Tangelo is a curious and friendly young man. He likes to follow his bestie Luna on their adventures and can usually be spotted with them.

Luna (Hampshire sheep) the second of the two youngest of the herd, Luna is a beautiful young lady with a sweet, caring, and curious personality. She loves to spend time with her friend Tangelo. She absolutely loves meeting new people and will sometimes let out a low bleat to get your attention!

Honey & Clover (Hampshire sheep) are the youngest of the herd.  They joined us in 2022.

We have had a herd of white tailed deer since the mid 1960's. We are members of the Pennsylvania Deer Farmers Association. We are strictly monitored by PA Department of Agriculture and the USDA. Often in the spring and fall the deer change their coats to prepare them for the next season. This transition is not pretty, but is necessary for the well-being of the animals. The deer tend to be shy, but often a handful of corn can entice them to come visit you.  Almost every spring we welcome new fawns born on the farm.  The fawns natural instincts are to hide, so it can be a challenge to see them when they are newborns. After the first few weeks visitors can see them following their moms.
