🐐🦙🐮 Did you know you can book an immersive guided tour of The Holmestead?

Step beyond the fence and experience life on the farm firsthand! During your guided tour, you’ll visit many of our pastures and meet some of our favorite residents, including our playful goats, Mr. Wilson the Kune Kune pig, our female and male alpacas, and our friendly Highland cows.

You’ll even have the opportunity to hand-feed the cows while learning about each animal, their unique personalities, and what daily life on The Holmestead is really like.

Whether you’re an animal lover, looking for a fun family outing, or simply wanting to slow down and enjoy the farm, our tours offer a memorable experience for all ages. Please note that this is a walking tour that travels through active pastures and fields. Some areas include hills and uneven terrain.
