Farm Tours

​Our self-service farm store is open to the public 24 hours/day, every day. Most of the time you can see the cows from the farm store’s driveway. If you are interested in interacting further with the animals and learning more about the farm, reach out to us about scheduling a farm tour.
 
Tour Options
 
Grazing and Poultry Tour: Meet the herd of cattle and learn about rotational grazing, see the meat chickens (or turkeys, depending on what time of year you come), visit the flock of laying hens, and learn how all of these species work together to benefit the land while producing great food! This tour is only available May through November.
 
Milking Tour: Meet the cows up close, watch them getting milked, try to milk one by hand if you want, see the milkhouse and parlor and learn the process of how the milk gets from cow to consumer, and get some calf snuggles!
 
Tour Details
 
Each type of tour lasts 30 – 45 minutes. A tour costs $75, which is a flat rate for any number of people. Payment must be received at least 10 days before the scheduled tour.  We accept cash or check only. You can leave your payment in the cash box of the farm store (write your name and what you're paying for on the clipboard) or mail payment to 163 Phillies Bridge Rd, New Paltz, NY 12561.

To schedule a tour, email us at oldfordfarm@oldfordfarm.com. Please give as much advanced notice as possible. (While we love sharing the farm with others on tours, running a farm is a very demanding job and our schedules are hectic!) We WILL NOT schedule any tour with less than 10 day’s notice. Thank you for understanding!
 
Please note that availability can not be guaranteed and that information here is subject to change. If there are any changes to the details listed here, that will be shared with you when you contact us to schedule a tour.
