Due to our recent move, tours are temporarily suspended while the new farm is being constructed. We apologize for the inconvenience!
Do you want to see a working, horse-powered, sustainable farm in action? Interested in using livestock to clear your forests or poultry to control bugs? Do you need ideas for edible landscaping or gardening? Have you wondered how draft horses are used in a farm setting today? Perhaps you'd like to learn more about wild mustangs, intensive management rotational grazing, or how to keep animals without turning your yard into a dusty, smelly, manure-filled lot? You can learn all this and more during our guided farm tour!
Prices are a set fee, so you can bring as few or as many (up to 10*) as you like at one price!
Customizable to your interests, we will take you to each station on the farm, and describe, in detail, how we manage that aspect of the farm and why. We can discuss the practical farming and business aspects for current or future farmers, host family reunions, or just guide you as a single family or individual seeking to learn. Contact us to discuss your desires.
Please note: In most cases, we recommend scheduling farm tours between late April and October, due to the seasonal nature of our farm, with the best months being late May to September. During the colder months, we have very few animals on the farm, and it is difficult to get the full picture of how a sustainable farm is run.
Standard Farm Tour ............................................................. $50*
This tour is about 2 hours long, and is ideal for groups and families who wish to learn about and see the overall picture of a sustainable farm.
Custom Tour .....................................................................$30/hr*
This tour is designed for individuals who are interested in learning about particular aspects of sustainable farming. We can include a basic tour of the farm if desired, as well as offer demonstrations in draft-horse logging, draft-power around the farm, milling lumber with the lumber mill, small-scale hay-making using a scythe and hay stack, designing and using a walipini (pit greenhouse), the basics of dairy animals, using animals for forest and woodland management, and more! We can focus on forest hogs, or pastured poultry, or you could even get hands on and milk a goat! We can even arrange for a horse-drawn wagon ride during your tour! Most tours run 2-3 hours in length, depending on your preferences. Feel free to e-mail an inquiry regarding your desires for more information.
*Please note that standard tour price is based on a group of 10 or fewer. Additional attendees are welcome for an additional $2/person (age 2 and over). Some tour options, especially those involving extra setup, powered equipment, or harnessing horse-power may require an additional fee. Dates and times are by appointment.
