Holly Hill Farm 4.36

Holly Hill Farm is our dream that has become a reality: a place to raise our babies in a healthy and sustainable way. We are an authentic family farm that hosts barnyard tours, special events, educational opportunities, and kids camps.

Our barnyard tours run every Sunday beginning March 26th, 2017, from 10-1. They cost $8 per person, with tractor rides being optional and an additional $3 each. The first half of the tour is guided by farm owner and operator, Katie Denne, certified teacher. During the tour, the guests are able to feed, pet, and hold chickens, collect eggs, pet mini-goats and mini-donkeys, and feed sheep. They are also able to hold bunnies and see where all the animals live, including our horses, pig and alpaca. We often have babies to hold as well! No booking is needed.

Our birthday parties run on Sundays during the season, and consist of a two hour slot where you enjoy our picnic area for the first hour, and our barnyard tour for the second. You can also offer tractor rides to the guests as well! The cost is $90 for up to 8 kids with more welcome at $5 each. The tractor rides are optional and an additional $3 each. Pre-booking needed.
