The Farm 4510

The Farm is legendary in this town! We have been going to the farm for years and absolutely love the owners, Sharon and Glen - I wish those who have negative comments would stay long enough to see all of the work these people poor into this place! We consider it a treasure and travel from the far southwest just to buy the farm fresh eggs! We will bring our two girls here for as long as we can because they love it too! Come visit and enjoy this gem and appreciate the fact that we have this wonderful place in a community that begs for more wholesome places like the farm. We look forward to visiting for Halloween and visiting our friends at the farm! Thank you Sharon and Glen - Gracie and Bailey are excited to see you both!

What a great place! I stumbled upon it on Halloween and fell in love with the atmosphere. What a gem to have in Las Vegas, I can't wait to get back to the farm for some fresh eggs! Thanks for keeping this open to the public Sharon and staff.

It's begun! My son asking for a pumpkin already--every time he sees one! but I refuse to go anywhere else for a pumpkin other than The Farm. I always thought the pumpkins and baked goods were reasonably priced and the atmosphere of the whole thing is much better than the generic $30/pumpkin patches you see in parking lots across the valley. There's a concession stand with food, a straw maze for the children, last year they did pony rides for the kids, there's many different kinds of pumpkins--white, different shades of orange, even bumpy pumpkins (that would make great witches all carved up!). There's a farm house there and in the front yard were peacocks, in the backyard are an array of farm animals--bunnies, a mini hornse, ducks, chickens, chicks, goats, sheep, etc. While you can't pet them, you get a great view of them from the back porch of the house. If you peek in the windows of the house, you see where there are animals inside that are being taken care of, too! Their jellies are great, eggs are fresh, baked goods are delicious and most of all the atmosphere is excellent. I highly recommend this for an outing to get a pumpkin with your children (my son's 7 and will still enjoy it).

Exactly what we were expecting it to be; small, family run, farm animals, and fresh products to buy. We just moved here a week ago and saw The Farm while driving by on a weekday and saw that they are only open on the weekend and thought it would be a good place to take our 3 and 5 year old girls. We stopped by early Saturday morning and the girls got a kick out of seeing the roosters and hens wondering around, looking into the cages and seeing the chickens, bunnies, and quail. We later found out that these animals have at some point been sick, rehabilitated, and removed from the other animals. The girls just enjoyed running around looking at things they aren't used to seeing having been raised in the city. It is a great place for photo opportunities. We ended up buying some flax seed bread that is amazing and even my daughters keep asking for more. We also bought quail eggs which is probably an odd item but since we lived abroad my kids can't live without them now. The gentleman said we couldn't buy fresh quail eggs and I believe him (they were still warm!) Yes, the prices are more than you are used to paying. But, you need to compare their products with Whole Foods since everything is fresh and includes no chemicals. I'll definitely splurge and buy the chicken eggs next time and the bread again. Next time I'm out of honey I'll try The Farms'. This place may not be for everyone, but at least give it a shot, especially if you already live on this side of town!

I am Sharon Linsenbardt and I would like to say a few words about The Farm. I am not a petting zoo. I also am not on a small corner lot nor do I live in the farm house. We have 5 acres with a lot going on within the property. We are looking forward to opening the entire property in the future as a Community Agricultural Center where we can teach what has been lost through generations. We have been raising chickens and other egg laying birds for over 40 years and I have been a master gardener a similar amount of time. We feel our prices are fair for the products we offer as nothing we feed our animals is grown in Las Vegas and everything we use has to be brought in from other states as well as being chemical free. When you add labor and fuel expense it is very expensive to feed animals, cage and bed them for their safety. I challenge anyone to match my veterinary bills. We have saved, rehabilitated , released &/or found homes for thousands of birds & less fortunate animals over the years. We don't allow everyone into the fenced areas for everyones safety; but, when we have "Parties at The Farm" we bring out all the animals for the children. We do the best we can to let everyone have a safe visit while our main forcus is to protect the animals and children from harm. If we started charging addimission, as everyone else does, or had tax dollars to sustain us as the park has, we could generate some cashflow to hire help and/or to grow, but that would keep out those that are not as fortunate as others. There are limited areas to grow pumpkins within this valley with enough land and water to sustain their growth thereby we do the best we are able to allow special extra large pumkings we grow on land out of state to be a part of the season, but again it costs to bring them to the valley. We don't use dangerous chemicals on the food products we grow or produce so our products are as safe as we can make them- we have many very ill people that rely on us to give them an alternative food source to support their medical issues. My straw maze is built with the softest product I can buy- it costs me several hundred dollars with no return as we don't charge admission even to toddlers. I wonder what type of maze those that criticize have in their yards for their children or the children in their neighborhood? We hope to have a full blown corn maze in the future, but that costs water, countless hours of labor and land--- we are working towards it... We have had to rely on others for the Oct. carriage rides and we have had some problems regarding available hours so we will be finding a better way so the carriage will be available all hours we are open. Keeping bees is an extreme labor intense effort. Look up honey laundering and you may learn why our honey may be worth the price. Again, I am sooo sad that someone would take the time to criticize when they may not have enough information to make such harsh statements. If The Farm is not for you or your teenage family, why send out such harmful info, just say "thank you" for allowing us to visit for free and go on your way --or better yet if your children are old enough to help, why not teach them to volunteer and help us to do better...I hope children are not being taught that it is ok to be so critical of others efforts when they are not doing anything for the community themselves. I and my husband spend extreme hours caring for the animals and there are many days we fall asleep on the floor in our clothes because of the late hours it takes to protect them...We are in our later years and the work load is huge to do what we do-we surely are not getting rich and we have the blessing of the FDA, Health Dept & Agri Dept. I wish everyone to know how harmful the illwilled statements have been to me personally. My husband says not to let it upset me, but it does. We have thousands of people that thank us everyday for being apart of the community and every time I say I am getting too old to continue they beg us not to close The Farm.

This is not a commercialized attraction like some pumpkin patches...this is old town rural Las Vegas! This family farm has been here as long as I have...fifty years +....and it is still run by the same family. It is small, intimate, and my "baby friends" love it! Chickens, peacocks, and roosters run free and you can buy yummy, fresh, homemade baked goods and organic eggs. If you are looking for a sweet spot to visit, try The Farm! Also, if you are looking for a place to do some gardening...either in a plot you rent or in a plot that is designated to grow food for low income elderly Las Vegans, check out the Tonopah Community Gardens on Bonanza and Tonopah!

We love going. We found it by accident while picking fruit at the orchard. I don't know why it received such bad reviews, it is what the description says it is. Its a small farm they open to visitors, they sell eggs, jellies, honey, fruits and veggies. Its not a petting zoo its a family's farm and home so they do ask you to be respectful to their property and animals. I take my daughter, she loves to see all different animals. You can feed the goats and they have chickens, peacocks, roosters, and cats wondering around you and a pony, pigs, rabbits, and other animals to see. Its just a nice little place to visit since we don't have many things like this in Las Vegas. The only down side is the goods they sell are a little expensive, but its all homemade, home grown goodies, and you're supporting a local business.

I read about this in the paper but was hesitant after reading a negative review. We decided to go and glad we did. It was such a great place to take the kids to see pumpkins and play. Great photo opps as well! I didn't care to have my kids pet animals, but baby chicks, ducks and roosters were walking around in the "petting zoo" area. Cute bunnies in cages that you could pet and turkeys behind a large fenced area. My son (9 yrs) and daughter (4 yrs) loved it. It was just enough for them. Huge display of all varieties of pumpkins that I've never seen before, fresh apples and a small hay maze that was perfect for my 4 yr old. Lots of food for purchase. We missed the carriage and pony rides (ends at 5pm), but we could see the ponies and goats from an overlook above that amazed my daughter. Truly a Fall atmosphere-small but fun. Loved it!

Went there today, It's nothing more than a small house on a corner lot, a couple of caged animals that you are not allowed to pet, very cramped, no pumpkin patch at all but rather pre cut pumpkins for sale at a hefty price. It would be OK to bring kindergarten aged children to but that about it. I wouldn't recommend it. Afterwards we went to the Floyd Lamb state park up the road & had a much better experience. good luck.

Pretty weak. The only animal you can pet is a cat. Goat, horse, rabbit, and a few birds are all caged or gated off. No petting at this petting zoo. Hay maze is about 15x15 ft and 3 bales high. Good thing there's no admission fee. Don't bother with this place unless you are there for the fresh eggs or pumpkins.
