The Farm & Barn Buddies Rescue, A Mom’s Review

Located in the Northwest corner of the Las Vegas Valley is The Farm, home to Barn Buddies Rescue. This amazing property is a safe haven for all farm animals in Southern Nevada. We love sharing about local businesses and The Las Vegas Farm and Barn Buddies Rescue is definitely towards the top of our list.

They take in and care for abused, neglected and abandoned farm animals. This little piece of “country living” is an ideal getaway from the “big city” living and a time to learn about and experience so many different animals.

The Country Market – Farmers Market

As a mom who loves supporting local businesses, the country market is my favorite stop of the day. They have fresh produce grown on-site. You can’t beat the freshly canned jams/jellies and homemade pickles (YUM!).

If you are in need for some true local honey then this is your spot! I love the quality of the honey and will never be able to go back to store-bought. I started taking it when we moved back to Las Vegas to help with my allergies (I heard that local honey helps your body to build up the antibodies to allergens) and it has done wonders.

They have farm fresh eggs as well! If you have never had a true farm fresh egg then you have no idea what you are missing out on.

Barn Buddies Rescue

You follow an easy path to get to see all the animals up close and personal. You can purchase a small bag of hay to feed to some of the bigger animals and most of the animals are close enough to pet.

During different times of the year, they open up a corn maze and hayride for the kids to enjoy. And what kind of fall would it be at the farm without an annual pumpkin patch? You can see all the Las Vegas pumpkin patches here.

Our Experience

My family loves to spend a weekend morning roaming around saying “hi” to everyone and giving some of the bigger animals a little hay. My little guy has been enjoying the farm since a little before he turned two and every time seems to discover a new animal to love.

Of course, the tortoises and goats will always be his favorite. Being able to experience some of these animals first hand is such a lovely educational experience too!

I love that they are providing a safe place for these animals that may otherwise not make it. We love hearing the stories of the animals and supporting such a heart-warming cause.

Tips for Your Visit

Here are some tips for your visit:

Wear a Hat

Wear comfy shoes, bring a hat, and sunscreen. Especially if you are going during the summer months, wear a hat! There is little to no shade in the Barn Buddies Rescue, so keep that in mind. The Market is shaded so you don’t need to worry there.

Bring Cash

Cash preferred. Minimum $20 to use card + $1 transaction fee.

Feed the Animals

Buy $2 hay bag to feed the animals!

Babywearing & Stroller Friendly

Recommend babywearing over bringing a stroller! We brought a stroller and it was fine, but could have been easier to babywear.

Allergies

Cats are roaming around, so if you’re allergic keep in mind. Pet at your own risk.
