Purina Farms

“We’ll make great cakes... pets”…products, that is!

It’s no surprise that this cake was decorated with cats and dogs. If you have a cat or dog I’m sure you are familiar with Purina products for your pet. Purina’s headquarters are located here in St. Louis. It was founded in 1894 by William H. Danforth and for six consecutive years, Purina was recognized by the St. Louis Business Journal as the “Best Place to Work”.
Purina Farms is located on more than 300 acres and offers opportunities to meet and learn about barnyard animals and everyday pets. They have a dog show, a 20 foot multi-level, Victorian style cat house, an opportunity to milk a cow, pet baby animals, and of course there’s a fun play area for the kids that include tunnels and rope swings.

We went during the annual Springtime Village event. It was a very nice day and everyone decided to go there that day too. We wanted to see the dog show but it was so crowded, there wasn’t an empty seat. So, while everyone was watching the dog show we went to go see the animals. The boys went through the cat house, saw cows, petted pigs, baby goats, ducks, and bunnies. Of course they had to swing around on the rope swing and run through tunnels in the play area.
