The office staff and guides were all very nice and knowledgeable with a clear love for what they do and their animals. The guides encourage questions and talk to you about the horses and the farm. The ride we took was an hour leisurely ride and was beautiful; the hills, cattle, sheep, and the sun with the falling leaves made for a picturesque ride. The facility is clean and easy to get to. I wish I would have done a longer ride to see more of the land. Overall a wonderful afternoon.

Gary and his family were welcoming, and very patient and personable with all the riders. My son, daughter, friend and I had a blast! The scenery was so breathtaking. Horses were beautiful and gentle. Highly recommend if you would like to get off the beaten path and in the thick of woods and pastures. Thank you! Lindy and crew

We went to Farmony today and had such a great experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and extremely personable. We had lots of questions which she answered with a smile. It was an amazing experience to see many of these animals up close, let alone to pet them. We spent a couple hours here, going back into the wolf and sloth enclosure a second time. I would highly recommend making this part of your trip if you are in the area!
