Why Visit Heart Bar Ranch?
Heart Bar Ranch is a mixed farm in Ibex Valley with cows, chickens, horses and forage farming. Students can see the different kinds of livestock raised here. Students can learn about beef, chicken and egg production as well as learn about the challenges of growing forage for a mixed farm. Tours can be tailored to curriculum requirements. Heart Bar Ranch also cooperates with classes to hatch chicks in class then come see them at the farm later in the spring.
About our Farm
