It’s home to more than a dozen reindeer, who just might be Santa’s own team! None of them have a glowing red nose, but hey… you never know.

The only thing cuter than the reindeer are the babies, which are born on the farm.

On your way home, you should definitely swing by Buckeye Express Diner for a unique dining experience.
