FAQs

O.G. Farms is a celebration of nature, nostalgia, and respect for the earth — with a pinch of old school hip hop swagger.

We’re committed to joy, care, wisdom, and groundedness.

    THE FARM STORE
    The farm store is open every day, all year — no appointment required.

  • Tours are the main attraction here at O.G. Farms! Tours generally take about 1 hour. You get to learn about all the animals, feed, & interact with all of them.

  • Absolutely! All of our animals are super friendly! Given most of our animals are also a little ‘sheepish’, we ask all guardians/parents to be sure everyone remains calm and quiet during the animal interactions.

  • Entry to the farm grounds is free.

    There is a cost for doing farm experience tours.

    Feed the animals at your own pace: No fee required if not doing a tour, however you can purchase bags of pre-approved treats for the animals and feed them from outside their fenced areas (excluding donkeys since they have strong teeth!) 

    Guided tours, group visits, & photography bookings: Tickets for guided, group, or photography experiences must be purchased in advance on our website.

    The Farm Store is open to all visitors and doesn’t require an admission fee

    All visitors are also required to review the warnings and responsibilities that are posted in the farm store. Guided farm tour guests must sign a waiver.

  • All farm guests must have a ticket to participate in our animal experiences during farm hours. Tickets can all be reserved online at pre-determined time slots.

    You can also drop-in and buy animal feed from the farm store during open hours with no tickets necessary (please do not feed anything but what you can get in the farm store due to strict diets). You must acknowledge and follow all rules & warnings that are displayed in the farm store.

    All other bookings require advanced purchase on our website.

  • We are huge supporters of dogs!  Our dog policy is:

    1. Service animals: Service animals are permitted as described by the ADA.

    2. Non-service dogs: Well-behaved dogs are permitted outside the fences only and must remain on leash. We cannot allow dogs that upset the farm animals or the other visitors.

    We appreciate your respect and good judgment.

  • Yes! You can stay at our cottage, dubbed Oswald’s Cottage, which is right across the street from the farm. All bookings can be done through airbnb here.

  • You can expect to be greeted by Kelly, our chocolate lab. Besides Kelly and our barn cat, you will also get to see alpacas, chickens, mini-donkeys, sheep, & goats.

  • Yes! You’ll get to feed the animals during the farm experience tours. You can also feed all of the animals from outside their fences if you decide not to do a tour (excluding the donkeys)

  • Because this is a working farm, we don’t have public restrooms. Thank you for understanding and planning accordingly.

    At this time, the full farm grounds are not wheelchair and stroller accessible. If you require accessibility support, please e-mail us at ogfarmsny@gmail.com. We’ll help you plan a visit that works best for you and your needs.

  • Yes.  Free parking is located at our Farm Store parking lot during visitor hours.

    Please respect our neighbors and do not park road-side.

  • No. Our animals eat special diets.

    Don’t worry! We have approved treats to feed the animals that can be purchased at the farm store.

  • No. We are not a rescue and do not accept animal surrenders.

    If you have an animal in need of a new home, please send us an e-mail, and we’ll try to direct you to a reliable organization.

  • The Catskills offers so much every season of the year. Come stop and do a tour at the farm is a must if you’re in the area, along with hiking, restaurants, breweries all in the near surrounding areas. We are close to Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, Woodstock, & Phonecia.

  • At O.G. Farms, we’re inspired by nature’s ability to create fun and simplicity in equal measure. Similarly, our logo — and the farm itself — attempts to represent that blend of fun, clarity, simplicity, and history.

    The colors celebrate the vibrance and tranquility of the local landscape. It’s also a nod to my time at Siena University.
