Many experiences conclude with a cheese tasting and take place rain or shine on the scenic property.
Harley Farms emphasizes hands-on learning about goat care and farm management. Educational Tours introduce students and groups to milking routines, animal husbandry basics, and sustainable farm practices. Guides lead small groups through the milking parlor and past pastures to ensure close-up animal encounters while maintaining safety and animal welfare.
The Hay Loft provides a cozy setting for cheese receptions and dinners showcasing local flavors alongside Harley Farms’ cheeses. The farm’s seasonal Baby Goat Farm Tour delivers family-focused encounters during kidding season, creating memorable connections with nature. For visitors seeking a private, guided experience or an evening farm dinner, Harley Farms provides curated, on-farm hospitality rooted in authentic, small-scale cheesemaking and daily goat care.
