Tours & Classes

We are excited to finally begin regular educational farm tours that are open to the public this year!

To launch them, we’re going to do a farm tour every Saturday in April, from 1 to 3 pm.

During these walking tours, we'll go over our practices in rotationally grazing beef cattle and meat goats, rotating laying hens on pasture and our farrow-to-finish hog program.

We'll also touch on our soil, compost and vermicompost program and methods for rebuilding top soil, enhancing biodiversity creating silvopasture and eliminating certain invasive species while producing food at the same time.

While we'd love for you to be able to pet our animals, they are livestock rather than pets and are not used to or comfortable with large groups of people. So unfortunately, there's no guarantees you'll be able to pet them, get the exact close-up selfie you'd like or pick up baby goats.

The tour is a walking tour, roughly .75-1 mile of walking, with standing in between. At this time, the farm tour content is geared towards adults, not ideal for young children or toddlers. As such, we recommend not bringing children younger than 8 and we do not have a separate tour price for children.

Tours must be booked in advance and are not refundable, but can be rescheduled to a later tour date.

Tours are rain or shine but will be rescheduled for inclement/dangerous weather.

There is a separate “item” for each tour in our online shopping cart. Note that the "Fulfillment Date" and "Fulfillment Location" are not relevant to the tour date, it's just required per our online store front for physical items we sell.

So you can select Metairie store pick up, add tour reservations to grocery orders, or even just select "Bogalusa Farm Pick Up," with the corresponding tour date if you wish.
