If you would like to bring a group of 7 people or more, please see below for full details! We are happy to host larger parties such as girl scout troops, homeschool co-ops, large families, business retreats and small events such as birthday parties or showers. All large group visits must be communicated via email, this type of booking is not available on our booking calendar. Click the link below to inquire.
**Please note: we do not allow outside alcohol or decorations for 60 minute events. We do not have an area with heat/AC for seating.
Visiting with a group of 7-25 people will be $250 for a one hour time slot, 25-35 people is $350/hour. Each additional hour is $100. We can accommodate up to 35 people in one visit. We require that all children under the age of 16 be directly supervised by an adult. It is requested that one adult is present for every 2-3 children.
We currently have the ability to brush two cows at one time, thus for large group visits for one hour will be split in half: 30 minutes for cow brushing and interaction, 30 minutes for our cow craft station or other activity. Both of these activities happen in the same area so your group will stay together. Events 2-3 hours have the ability to add additional activities you provide.
Large Group Visits at The Planted Hoof (7-25 people or 26-35 people, 1-3 hours)
Cow Station - 30 minutes
Half of your first hour visit (30 minutes) will be hands on with two of our furry friends! You will be able to learn about the breed, meet our cows, brush them and take unlimited pictures.
Each session is led by a first generation farmer, Seth or Amy, who will help educate you on cattle care, highland history, share about the farm and answer any and all questions!
Liability waivers are required for each family, please request this ahead of time if parents of every child will not be attending the day of.
Craft Station - 30 minutes
Our Highland Keepsake Craft is perfect for all ages! Choose from an ornament or magnet. The craft station is required and included in the fee of your first hour. The craft station will be the other 30 minutes of your hour visit.
Upon arrival we will split your group in half to help make the most of our space and to make sure we are not overwhelming the cows with a swarm of people! Generally, we have two cows to brush at one time, this second station is how we balance a large group to the number of cows!
Not all guests have to complete the craft, but know that we can only have so many people hands on with the cows at one time.
If you are hosting a different type of event and have something else in mind, please share your ideas and we can try to accommodate.
Extended events (2-3 hours)
We know your private event is special and can help accommodate your ideas. Whether you are planning to bring catered food for a company outing, snacks for your homeschool co-op event, or setting up a gift table for a shower, or even if you are not sure - we are here to help.
