Prior to booking, guests review and agree with the Farm Visitor FAQs, Farm Policies, and the farm's booking policy:
Because our team is fully dedicated to caring for the animals and hosting scheduled guests, questions about exceptions/about experiences that are not available/about information already shared in our FAQs will not receive a response.
All farm visits are scheduled at least 24 hours in advance due to strict liability regulations (we must staff a safety trained facilitator), and cannot be refunded or changed to a new date once booked because your visit will be blocked for you and resources committed.
Inside the Agritourism Lifestyle:
Escape to Howe Ranch for a magical get away at this private animal farm nestled in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. Experience farm life with boutique Farm Animal Encounters, plan a Rustic Gathering with stunning city and mountain views, or a unique escape from urban life. Our activities directly support the care of our specialty bred miniature animals and rescues. Learn more about our animals here: Howe Ranch Herd. Howe Ranch is located in Wildomar, CA, in the heart of Southern California. The experiences offered at the farm are wheelchair accessible, and we operate rain or shine. Experiences will only be rescheduled if there is a safety concern (i.e. earthquake, flooding, unsafe wind).
Howe Ranch is relocating to Montana within a year, creating an incredible opportunity for new owners. Learn more HERE.
