What you’ll see

Four things, every visit.

The greenhouses

Year-round propagation house plus a production house full of seedlings, herbs, and shade-loving plants. Climate-controlled — comfortable in February, comfortable in August.

Working animals

Sheep, goats, livestock-guardian dogs, and a deaf horse who likes naps in the sun. They have personalities. Greet them, don’t feed them.

The plant nursery

Trees, shrubs, perennials, herbs, vegetables, and seasonal starts. We grow most of what you’ll see — many varieties you won’t find at chain stores.

Demo garden

A working trial garden where we test new varieties for the next year’s catalog. Layout changes every season based on what we want to learn.

The experience

What to actually do once you’re here.

Walk the rows. See what we’re testing in the demo garden. Step into the greenhouse — even on a cool spring day, it’ll feel like June inside. Meet the dogs. Pick up a few plants you can’t find at the chain stores. Bring a thermos.

When to come

Best season to visit.

Spring (Mar–May)

The busiest weeks of the year. Seed-starting, lambing, baby goats, planting. Everything is happening at once and most of it is loud.

What’s on

Plant shopping, lamb visits, greenhouse tours

Variable — bring layers.

Summer (Jun–Aug)

Peak production. The greenhouses are full, the demo garden is showing off, the animals are managing the heat. Mornings are best.

What’s on

Pick plants, see crops in fruit, walk the orchard

Hot and dry — bring water.

Fall (Sep–Oct)

Quieter, golden, perfect walking weather. Tree fruit comes off; we slow into cleanup and cover-cropping mode.

What’s on

Late-season harvest, fall garden cleanup demos

Ideal — bring a jacket for evenings.

Winter (Nov–Feb)

Closed to walk-in visits. We use this stretch to plan, build, and rest.

What’s on

None — DM us on Instagram if you’re curious about something specific.

Snow and quiet.

Ground rules

A few things to know before you wander.

  • ✕Don’t feed any animals — even hand-friendly snacks. The goats have eaten things they shouldn’t and we’d rather not test what’s next.
  • ✕Don’t open paddock or pasture gates. Even unlatched, the working dogs assume you have a reason and will follow.
  • ✕Don’t bring your dog. We run livestock-guardian dogs that take their job seriously; outside dogs add unpredictable energy.
  • ✕Don’t step into beds without asking. Compaction undoes a year of careful soil structure.
  • ✓Do ask questions. We answer better in person than over email.

Before you go

Logistics.

Not for individual visits during posted hours. Groups of 15+ should email ahead so we can prep the animals for traffic and make sure someone’s available to walk you through.
We stay open rain or shine through the season. The greenhouses are climate-controlled — most of what you’ll want to see is under cover. Bring a jacket and shoes you don’t mind getting wet.
Yes. Trees, shrubs, herbs, vegetables, fruit, flower starts. Most stock is seasonal — what’s available depends on when you visit. Browse the catalog at /catalog before you come for what we currently have.
Closed-toe shoes (dirt and thorns), sun hat or sunscreen (Utah sun is intense at our elevation), and layers (greenhouses run warm even in early spring). Be prepared for a little mud after rain.
No — we don’t sell food or drinks. There’s a picnic area you’re welcome to use. Pack water; the dry climate dehydrates you faster than you think.
Absolutely. Tag @susfarms on Instagram if you post — we love seeing how people use what they bought.
Yes. There’s plenty of space to wander, animals to meet from a respectful distance, and shade under mature trees. Keep kids close around the dogs and goats — they’re polite but they’re still livestock.
Best to leave your dog at home. We have working livestock-guardian dogs on site and they take their job seriously. Outside dogs add unpredictable energy.

Family-friendly

Bring the kids. They’ll have a better day than the adults.

Dirt to dig in. Plants to touch (most). Animals to meet from a polite distance. Shade under mature trees and a picnic area for the cooler. The farm is a working operation, not a petting zoo — but kids consistently leave with stories.

✓ Free to walk through

Most areas open during posted hours.

✓ Picnic area

Bring lunch and stay a while.

✓ Restrooms on site

Yes, indoor plumbing and everything.

✓ Shade

Under mature trees and inside greenhouses.
