Thunder Acres Highlands is a farm in Sand Lake, Mich. that breeds and raises micro, mini, and mid-size Highlands and Highparks Cows. The farm is located at 21592 Kimball Road in Sand Lake.
Thunder Acres offers different experiences to hang out with the furry, sweet creatures. I'd get your tickets ASAP though, as these events always seem to sell out quickly each year.

In previous years, the farm offered multiple "Painting with the Cows" sessions. There aren't any on the books so far for 2025, but check back as they may add them.
