CARROTS, CARROTS AND MORE CARROTS

Did you know that the nine animals in the Petting Farm at Fort Zion and The Virgin Trading Post are responsible for eating close to a whopping 5,000 lbs carrots every season?

For a dollar, visitors can buy three carrots to feed to any of our nine animals - whether it's Sundance the miniature donkey, or Sampson, Buffy and their friends the Alpacas.

On average, every month they consume around twelve 50 lbs boxes, which equates to around 4,800 lbs during our eight month opening season.

Naturally we also feed them a balanced diet suitable for their species so they don't only consume carrots.

From the photos you post we can see just how much they love getting their carrots from you, our visitors.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH: APRIL 2017

At Fort Zion and the Virgin Trading Post we are blessed to have our visitors share their wonderful images of their time with us on various social media channels.

This month, for the first time, we have chosen a Photo of the Month, and we hope it raises a smile with you in the same way it did with us.

This image was taken just after our opening early last month and posted to Instagram by "timmyblueeyes". We especially like the attempted photobombing by Sampson, one of our Alpacas. We hope you enjoyed your visit as much as we enjoyed your photo.

Hashtag your images #FortZion and you too could be a winner of our next Photo of the Month.
