  • Will you have classes on beekeeping?
    Classes will be held in the Spring and Summer of 2023 - always weather permitting, and always on a weekend. Please see our events tab for new classes. We collect Swarms in the Spring time, and then manage those colonies so that they survive and are able to product honey. We have honey extraction classes when the hives produce honey. We also teach hive maintenance classes. We have been beekeepers for over 9 years and have had both bees for hobby and commercial bees for pollination. We have held positions as "Director of Membership" and "Treasurer" for a non-profit beekeepers organization of over 500 members. Conducted beekeeping classes both live and online (during Covid)

    We are not a public ranch that rents horses out for riding. We also do not give horseback riding lessons at this time. We are focused on our driving school for horse and buggy, and partnering with the nonprofit, Equine Safe Haven, to offer economical opportunities to those that are disadvantaged. We host global visitors through membership programs, and clinics - these are posted as events on our website when open to the public. We have our own professional Ranch, Roping and Trail horses, that are not for rent, as we compete with them.
