Harley Farms is a working goat dairy and agritourism destination in Pescadero, California. The farm offers guided public and private farm tours, seasonal baby-goat experiences, educational programs, senior tours, and farm-to-table dinners. Visitors tour the milking parlor, meet and interact with friendly milking goats and baby kids during kidding season, and sample Harley Farms’ artisanal cheeses in the historic Hay Loft.
Tour options include 1.5–2.5 hour public and private experiences: general Farm Tours, Baby Goat Farm Tours (February–May), Farm Tour & Cheese Reception, Educational Tours for students (5th grade and older), Senior Tours, “Your Kids with Our Kids” sessions for children under seven, and private customized tours. 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.
