Barnyard Stories at Weir River Farm

From USD $50.00
About the Farm: 


Originally part of the picturesque, early-20th-century country estate of renowned artist Polly Thayer Starr, today Weir River Farm is a 75-acre working farm comprising fields and pastures surrounded by oak and red cedar woodlands. The farm supports diverse wildlife habitats, including upland grasslands, while the Weir River passes through the farm at its northwest edge. The farm is home to our herd of Belted Galloway cattle, who may be spotted from the trails intersecting Weir River Farm, as well as our barnyard animals including horses, sheep, goats, chickens, pig, and llama.

The Farm Store features Trustees Grown produce, meat, and eggs as well as local and organic food from the highest-quality producers that you can purchase and bring home with you.


About The Trip: 

Barnyard stories really come to life when you get to meet the main characters up close and personal!

Bring the kids to Weir River Farm for our farm fresh version of ‘story time.’ Explore the barnyard and meet our barnyard friends such as Clover the goat and Ruby the llama. Gather around for a story surrounded by our barnyard friends! 


After you visit with the animals you are welcome to explore the property and walk the many trails and discover all the nature and wildlife the farm has to offer. We highly recommend packing a picnic lunch to enjoy at the outdoor picnic tables before heading back to the train station.
