Harley Farms Goat Dairy

Dropping In

You do not need a tour to visit. Between 11am and 4pm you can walk around the public areas, read the information boards and greet the goats over the fence; in spring the kids are in a pen where they are easy to see and touch. The farm shop sells the dairy's goat cheeses, known for their decorations of edible flowers, along with handmade goods. Picnic tables stand around the pond, and the farm asks you to take your rubbish with you.

Guided Tours

Tours last about an hour and a half and take you into the gated areas of the farm that the public cannot enter. From February to June the focus is on baby goats. From July to November you meet the mothers, learn how the cheese is made and finish with a tasting in the Hay Loft. Public tours end for the winter and start again in mid-February; baby goat tours are added to the calendar as the season approaches.

Tours are kept small and often sell out, but there is a waitlist. Groups can book a private tour, and there are separate tours for seniors and school groups. Children under 7 cannot join the tours, so families with young children are invited to explore the public areas instead.

Accessibility

The tour covers soft, uneven ground and there are no tractor rides. If you have limited mobility, email the farm before your visit and it will try to arrange things so you can see as much as possible.

Farm Dinners

The farm also holds farm dinners and private lunches and dinners in the Hay Loft; dates and booking are on its website.

Getting There

Pescadero is about an hour south of San Francisco. Take Highway 280 and then Highway 1 down the coast, or come over the hills on Highway 84. The farm is in the village, on North Street. The farm closes on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and asks visitors to check for updates in winter.
