Yoder's Country Market Petting Zoo, known as "the barnyard," is a free, family-friendly attraction located at 2105 S. Seminole Trail in Madison, Virginia, adjacent to Yoder's Country Market. Visitors can interact with a variety of friendly farm animals including alpacas, goats, turkeys, ducks, sheep, rabbits, and pigs, with the opportunity to feed them directly from hand using feed available at quarter feeders or in bag purchases. A highlight of the barnyard is a 15-foot-high goat skywalk where playful goats romp and entertain guests of all ages. Open during regular market hours and free of charge, the petting zoo complements a broader agritourism experience that also includes a cafe and gift shop, making it a delightful stop for families exploring the Virginia countryside.
