55⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Paws! We're Back at Irie Farms… But Apparently Mom Forgot Where to Park! 🐾🚗 Hello again! Astro and Elroy here! Your favorite professional Sniffspot reviewers are back, and this time we're returning to one of our all-time favorite places — Irie Farms! We believe this is our FOURTH visit, which practically makes us regulars. At this point, we should probably have our own parking spaces. Speaking of parking spaces... 🚗 WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MOM. Everything was going perfectly. We recognized where we were going, excitement levels were rising, and we were preparing for another fantastic day. And then Mom parked in the WRONG SPOT. Astro: Mom. We've been here FOUR times. Elroy: FOUR. How do you still not know where to park? Astro: This is embarrassing. People know us here. Elroy: We're regulars, Mom. We have a reputation to maintain. Mom eventually figured it out, but the damage to our professional image was already done. We considered walking home. Then we remembered we don't have driver's licenses. 🐾 Astro here! Once we recovered from the parking incident, I was ready for business. And by business, I mean BALL. Irie Farms continues to be one of my favorite places to run, play, and demonstrate my extraordinary athletic abilities. There's nothing quite like having room to stretch my legs, chase my orange ball, and enjoy some uninterrupted recreational excellence. Well, almost uninterrupted. Elroy: You mean until I chase you? Astro: Exactly. Elroy: You're welcome. 🐾 Elroy here! Personally, I think Astro needs to broaden his interests. There's an entire world out there to explore, and he keeps carrying around the same orange ball. Irie Farms is one of my favorite places because I get to run, sniff, explore, and occasionally remind Astro that he has a brother. Sometimes we race around together. Sometimes I go off on my own adventures while Astro plays fetch. But we always find our way back to each other. Usually because I need to make sure Astro isn't having more fun than me. Astro: Impossible. I have the ball. Elroy: Here we go again. 🐾 WHY WE KEEP COMING BACK We've visited other Sniffspots, and we've had some wonderful adventures, but Irie Farms will always be special to us. It was one of our first favorite places, and four visits later, we still get excited to come back. We love having the freedom to run, explore, play together, and enjoy our own little adventures. And Mom loves watching us have the time of our lives. Even if she occasionally forgets where to park. ⭐️ FINAL VERDICT: 5 OUT OF 5 PAWS — AGAIN! Four visits and Irie Farms is still one of our absolute favorites! There's a reason we keep coming back. We have a fantastic time every visit, and it's become one of our favorite places to spend an afternoon. We highly recommend it to fellow four-legged adventurers. Just make sure your human knows where to park. Apparently, that part is harder than it looks. Respectfully submitted, 🐾 Astro — Director of Recreation, Orange Ball Security & Extremely Embarrassed Passenger 🐾 Elroy — Chief Exploration Officer, Brother Surveillance Specialist & Self-Appointed Parking Supervisor P.S. Mom, next time we're handling the navigation. P.P.S. Irie Farms, if you see our mom parked in the wrong spot again, please pretend you don't know us. We have a reputation to protect. 🐾😂
55We've been a few times and always have a great time — lots of open land for the dogs to run plus a fenced area. Five stars, no complaints! One small suggestion: a little trash can by the gated area would be a nice touch.
55UPDATE:from Astro & Elroy 🐾 Hello again. Yes. It’s us. Apparently when we said we had established residency at Irie Farms, Mom failed to realize that we were being completely serious. WE’RE BACK. AGAIN. 😂 At this point, we know where we’re going. We have our preferred running routes. We have important sniffing locations that require regular inspection. We wrestle in the grass like we own the place. And today we even arrived early enough to enjoy the morning sunshine. Honestly, we’re starting to question why Mom keeps driving us home. We would therefore like to formally amend our previous reviews: Visit #1: Best day ever. Visit #2: WE CAME BACK! Visit #3: Please forward all future property maintenance decisions to Astro & Elroy. Still 5 out of 5 paws. 🐾🐾 Still obsessed. Still not ready to leave. Love, Astro & Elroy P.S. At this point, this is less of a review and more of our weekly status report. 😂
55UPDATE from Astro & Elroy 🐾 Remember us? We left a review yesterday saying we would be requesting that Mom bring us back. Apparently she takes requests very seriously. We returned to Irie Farms THE VERY NEXT DAY. 😂 We would like to report that the grass was still excellent, the smells were still plentiful, and there were somehow several areas we failed to properly investigate during our first visit. Obviously, we corrected that oversight. We ran. We explored. We sniffed. We chased each other. We briefly stopped long enough for Mom to take pictures and then immediately returned to important farm business. At this point, we are no longer considering ourselves visitors. We believe we have established residency. Still 5 out of 5 paws. 🐾🐾 Still highly recommend. Still planning our next visit. Love, Astro & Elroy P.S. Mom, if you’re reading this, tomorrow works for us too. 😂
55Submitted by Astro and Elroy Dear Irie Farms We would like to formally give you 5 out of 5 paws. We ran through the grass, explored EVERYTHING, sniffed approximately 47,000 things, and generally had the time of our lives. Our mom apparently thought she was taking us out for a nice adventure. We considered it more of an opportunity to run wild and conduct a very thorough inspection of the property. We are happy to report that it passed. The ultimate proof? We were completely knocked out together on the ride home. Getting both of us that tired is no small accomplishment. Beautiful property, tons of room to explore, and two very happy (and exhausted) pups. We will absolutely be requesting that Mom bring us back. Love, Astro & Elroy 🐾🐾 P.S. Mom says thank you too, but this is our review. 😴❤️
55What a great spot to go to and the contact person could not be more accommodating! Will definitely continue to visit this beautiful spot!
55What a wonderful place! The dogs loved it! We will be back.
55It was a lovely place to let our dog romp! Areas of vegetation that made it interesting - vs an open field - and appreciated the size of the fenced in area. Note that the water feature is not in the fenced in area - which would have been too good to be true :). We have plans to return again!
55This was a very nice piece of property. We only stayed in the fenced area about 10 minutes because it was tall. We decided to use the other areas to take a walk instead.
45We've been to this spot several times but this visit was the first time that other dogs have approached our dogs at the fence. It seemed there was some work being done throughout the property. The owner was able to corral them away from the fence for the most part until they couldn't. Just a little frustrating when every other visit has been excellent. The lady property owner that needed to do some work on the barn adjacent to the fenced in area with her dog was very kind and noticed our dogs were riled up and offered to put the dog she had with her out of sight for the remainder of our visit. The first two dogs just put me a little on edge since the fence isn't the most secure and those dogs probably could have come in if they really wanted to. My 17 year old dog just can't play like she used to and I am afraid she would have been hurt. Overall it was pleasant, but I did not care for the additional visitors

Half acre fenced in with gazebo chairs table. Filled kiddie pool on request.. it’s pretty private and serene. There is a playground, sandbox, swing in the tree and plenty of toys. Porch swing is under deck water bowls are by the hose. Feel free to fill them up if they are empty. We usually have everything ready. We made this spot in honor of Lola, a 2 year old American bulldog. She was so aggressive we loved her and tried everything, we failed. This is a safe spot!! We just added an extra dog bath feature. Check it out!
