Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Livingston, MT

Livingston

Tim and Kira Jarosz started this 30-acre Livingston farm in 2017, raising pastured pork, poultry, and eggs. It's a farrow-to-finish operation built on Idaho Pasture Pigs for marbled, slow-grown pork, with Freedom Ranger meat chickens raised under open sky. The animals live outdoors to root, graze, and range. Black Dog sells its meat and eggs direct, with an online shop and Livingston-area pickup.

Montana Grasslands Beef raises grass-finished Galloway cattle on a certified organic family ranch off Old Clyde Park Road near Livingston, in Paradise Valley country.

Livingston

Barney Creek Livestock sells 100% grass-fed beef by the share from a family ranch in Paradise Valley, along the Yellowstone River north of Livingston. Pete and Meagan Lannan run land their family has held since 1900, using regenerative grazing that won Montana's 2022 Leopold Conservation Award for stewardship of soil, water, and wildlife. Reserve beef shares directly through the ranch.

Big Timber

Montana Bunkhouses matches travelers with more than 20 working ranches scattered across Sweet Grass County near Big Timber. Each ranch hosts one family or small group at a time, so a stay might mean helping with spring lambing, summer haying, or a fall cattle roundup. Lodging ranges from a remodeled bunkhouse to a room in the ranch house. Yellowstone sits about 90 miles south.

McLeod

Hawley Mountain Guest Ranch sits along the Main Boulder River south of McLeod, deep in the mountains north of Yellowstone. The all-inclusive week caps at 20 guests and folds in horseback riding, fly fishing on private Boulder River frontage, jeep rides to a gold-mining ghost town, raft trips on the Yellowstone, and evening cookouts. Meals, lodging, and activities are bundled into one rate.

Bozeman

Horse-drawn sleigh and hay rides run across the farm on Manley Road at the edge of Bozeman, winding through open fields and along the river to a quiet bend beneath the Bridger Mountains, where riders gather at a campfire for hot chocolate. The same outfit runs city carriage rides through Bozeman's historic districts and leads multi-day horse pack trips into Yellowstone. Daytime sleigh rides depart hourly, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Bozeman

Rocky Creek Farm sits in the creek bottomlands east of Bozeman, now farmed by Gallatin Valley Botanical as a certified organic operation. More than 300 apple trees in nine varieties feed a cider press that runs during the fall festival, a Bozeman tradition going back three decades. Weekends from late September through Halloween bring hay rides, a pumpkin patch, and apple picking. A summer farm stand and U-pick berries round out the season.

Bozeman

Dale Mandeville built Bozeman's first corn maze in 1998, shaped like a pumpkin, as a draw for his family's patch on Mandeville Lane. The operation ran there for years before moving to 1340 E Valley Center Road. Fall visitors get a straw-bale maze, a kids' maze, puzzle mazes, a bungee trampoline, corn bins, a mini-train, hay rides, and pick-your-own pumpkins.

Belgrade

A horse-drawn carriage service based on Hamm Road outside Belgrade, in the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman. Little verified information is published online beyond the location and business name. Operations like this in the area typically run wedding and event carriages plus seasonal rides.

Belgrade

Amaltheia Organic Dairy has handcrafted certified organic goat cheese near Belgrade for more than 20 years. The lineup runs to chevre, feta, ricotta, and flavored chevres like roasted garlic and chive and sun-dried tomato, several of them American Cheese Society award winners. The farm feeds its whey to organic hogs and composts the rest, wasting nothing. You'll find the cheeses in Bozeman shops and in Whole Foods and Trader Joe's nationwide.
