Ways to Experience Hidden Pastures

Hidden Pastures offers several ways to spend time on the farm — whether you’re looking for a regular rhythm, a seasonal gathering, or a quiet moment with animals and the land.

This is a working farm with clear structure and schedules designed to support both the animals and the people who come here.


Open Farm Work Hour

Quiet, Low-Pressure Time on the Farm

Fridays | 10:00–11:30 AM

Open Farm Work Hour is a standing, low-key time to be on the farm while regular work is happening.

There is:

  • no facilitation
  • no programming
  • no expectation to talk or share

People may:

  • help with light farm tasks
  • spend quiet time with animals
  • observe and learn
  • come once or return regularly

Participation is pay-what-you-can.
Suggested donation: $10–$20


Community Events & Gatherings

Throughout the year, Hidden Pastures hosts seasonal events that bring the community together.

Events May Include:

  • Community Open Farm Days
  • Bonfire Nights
  • Workshops

Goat Grams & Community Visits

Goat Grams bring a small group of farm animals into the community for joyful, meaningful visits.

Available for:

  • birthdays and celebrations
  • schools and organizations
  • senior and assisted living communities

Veteran Connect Hour (Launching Fall)

A standing, low-pressure farm hour for veterans and first responders.

This is time to be on the land together — working, observing, or simply present — without facilitation or expectation.

Details coming soon.
