The Petting Farm at Domino's Farms, Ann Arbor

The land that houses The Petting Farm at Domino's Farm has seen its share of changes in the past hundred years. What began as a quiet farm was purchased by Thomas S. Monaghan, owner of Domino's pizza, and it soon became the pizza chain's international headquarters. Even an international pizza empire recognized the peacefulness of the former farm's pastoral setting. Now being a 501(c)(3) non profit organization, they've welcomed guests to this family-friendly farm activity center that introduces kids to the agricultural industry and life on the land.
