What-Knott Farm has been a breeding farm since 1982, specializing in breeding miniature animals. "Buster", a Miniature Donkey, was our first "pet" for our children. We then expanded into Miniature Horses and Pygmy Goats. As our herd expanded, so did our hearts for these special miniature animals. Our farm now owns Miniature Horses, Miniature Donkeys, Miniature Babydoll Sheep, Miniature Potbelly Pigs, Miniature Goats, Miniature Rabbits, Miniature Chickens. We also owned a wallaby, a Patagonian cavy, a muntjac deer, a few llamas, a yellow-nape amazon parrot, giant tortoises, fennec foxes, skunk and other "pets" that are part of our household and petting zoo. Now our grandchildren are sharing our love of our animals too.

We just wanted to thank you for Sarah's wonderful birthday petting zoo. You were so kind to wait out the storm and we really did appreciate your patience. Thank you! Your animals are wonderful with the kids and you have the setup/clean-up down to a science. We look forward to seeing you around at community days and fairs. Thanks for making Sarah's 5th birthday so special. Carrie and Steve

Just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful time yesterday. Everyone loved the animals and talked about them long after you guys were gone. I uploaded some photos and also a video. Feel free to use any of the photos or the video. I'm also going to send out an email to the Moms Club that we belong to and let them know of the wonderful job Whatknott Farm did. Maybe you'll get a few more parties :) Gerri

I just had to write you to tell you that we were very pleased with your visit to our home for my daughter’s 2nd birthday.

I have to admit I was a bit nervous using your company without having been referred by a friend.  I did not know what to expect or how it would be received by my guests.
But I was so happy with the whole day.  It was the BEST party I ever threw.  My baby girl had the time of her life.
The guests had a wonderful time and a memorable experience.  Children from ages 1-13 were engaged and involved in this animal experience.  (This beats any Moon bounce you could rent )
2 hours was the perfect amount of time for us.
The animals were clean and well cared for.  You took great care of them and monitored all activities.
You were professional and engaging.
I loved how the pens were labeled and had information about the animals.
I appreciate the hand sanitizer and signs posted.
The children enjoyed feeding the animals too.
We will remember this birthday forever and will surely recommend you to our friends.
Thank you!
Donna and Pete
PS.  Talia still walks out in the yard and says,  “Where are my animals?”


Thank you so much for coming to Weston's first birthday party yesterday. The petting zoo and pony were a huge hit with the kids. You and your husband did an excellent job and we appreciate you waiting out the rain so we could get our party in. It was a great day filled with wonderful memories. We definitely would love to have you back for another party in the future!
Thank you again - Jana

Mr. and Mrs. Knott: Thanks for coming down to Delaware for our daughters birthday party. The kids had a great time with the petting zoo. It was a huge hit.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for a wonderful party on 6/30! All the children had a wonderful time, and it was everything I had hoped for as well.

Just a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed the "Mini Farm Party" for our boys. We appreciated your promptness, the cleanliness of the animals, the wash station, and how easy you are to be with. Thank you! I am sending a few photos from that day...we got some great shots.

Martha, I thought you would enjoy some pictures from Williams' birthday party. My family and friends, as well as John and myself were thoroughly impressed by the warmth you provided. My son loved his experience. If you could mail me some business cards, I have many friends asking for your name and telephone number: I would love to refer you for future birthday parties. Thank you for making Williams' birthday party memorable.
P.S. I really wanted to keep Freckles...

I wanted to take a moment to say how very much we enjoyed the farm birthday party for Rachel. You completely exceeded our expectations in terms of professionalism, cleanliness, and variety of animals. We expected a small variety, but were amazed by all that your service had to offer. This was without a doubt the most memorable party we have had for our children and guests. Parents couldn't stop talking about it either! Thank you for making it such a special day!

Hello Martha, I can not thank you enough for the FANTASTIC party today!!! I received so many compliments on how great it was and how big of a hit you & the animals were. Christopher & Brandon especially had so much fun! I took some great photos and I hope to have you back again for Brandon's birthday. I know many of the moms took your brochures also and they all live in this area. I can not thank you enough. It was a huge success!!!

T. Newman

I just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful job you did at Maddy's birthday party yesterday. All the parents were saying what a wonderful time their kids had and how great the animals were with all the kids. I will definitely recommend you to anyone that asks in the future and maybe we can have you come again when Maddy's little brother gets a little older!
