Summer Saturday Tours
Bring the family to meet the horses — and some very friendly mules — at Rosemary Farm Sanctuary!
This family-friendly 90-minute walking tour features equines of various breeds, ages and backgrounds. Each one has their own unique story and each one is protected for life on the beautiful mountain meadows of the Sanctuary. Make a new friend, take some photos, and see the herd groups in natural settings.
Tours are limited to 15 attendees to ensure everyone gets dedicated time to meet the herds up close and personal. Please wear closed-toe walking shoes and arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Tours start promptly and late arrivals may not be able to join in.
After the tour ends, guests are invited to browse our gift shop. Children and teens under 18 must be accompanied by adults.
The horses are waiting to meet you!
Friday Sunset Tours
As the light softens and the heat of the day dissipates, herds of horses head quietly up to the mountain meadows. These are the moments that give us pause to appreciate the magical nature of the Sanctuary.
Take a sunset saunter where you’ll hear stories of the farm and meet the Sanctuary residents. Watch as the herds migrate up the paths to grassy meadows in the summer evening glow.
Duration: 90 minutes
Price: $50 per person
Dates: June 19, July 10, August 7, August 28
Private Tour
Can’t make our regular Saturday dates, or just want a more personal experience with friends & family? Enjoy a 90-minute private tour with the equines of Rosemary Farm! We’ll take you and your group on a walk-about to see our operations and meet our horses up close and personal. With a private tour, we also have the flexibility to customize your experience and adapt to your tempo and interests! For example, a private tour is a good option for seniors or limited mobility friends who may prefer to spend time in just one barn, enjoying a group of horses with less walking. Please tell us about any special requests or needs!
Private Tours may be scheduled for a small group of up to 6 people and must be arranged and paid for in advance, to reserve a Tour Guide and ensure the Sanctuary is accessible (i.e. other tours, farm events, or vet days may conflict).
Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you can sign in and start promptly to ensure you enjoy the full 90 minutes touring!
Pricing: $100 for a group of 2 friends & family plus $25 for each additional person up to max 6 participants
Deluxe Ride-along Tour
Enjoy a special 2-hour experience that takes you from the barns below to the mountains above! Begin your Sanctuary visit with a walking tour of Rosemary Farm, stopping in several of our barns and meeting various equine friends along the way. Then hop in the UTV for a ride up the mountain, where you’ll experience stunning views of the whole valley and drive in amongst a herd to visit horses as they spend their time roaming the Sanctuary. Bring your camera and allow yourself to just “be” with the horses in their world.
NOTE: We can only transport 2 riders in the UTV at a time so Deluxe Tours are ideally suited for 1-2 participants. We can accommodate a group of 3-4, but you will do the walking portion of the tour together, and then the UTV portion will be completed 2 people at a time while the rest of the party waits at our Welcome Center or Gazebo.
Deluxe tours must be arranged and paid in advance, in order to reserve a Tour Guide and ensure the Sanctuary is accessible (i.e. other tours, farm events, or vet days may conflict with your requested tour time).
Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you can sign in and start promptly to ensure you enjoy the full 2 hours touring!
Pricing: $350 for 1-2 participants; $500 for 3-4 participants (maximum)
