Barber Family Farm, Lancaster

About Barber Family Farm

Barber Family Farm is a working farm in Lancaster, California where visitors meet and interact with farm animals. The primary activities include a petting zoo where guests hand-feed animals fresh fruits and vegetables from buckets, and hand-led pony rides for riders under 100 pounds. The farm houses goats, horses, chickens, and other farm animals that visitors can pet and observe. The facility operates as a nonprofit organization that also provides therapy animals and conducts educational farm visits for schools and daycares during weekdays by appointment. On weekends, the farm opens to the general public, allowing families to walk the grounds, interact directly with the animals, and participate in hands-on feeding experiences. The setting includes typical farm infrastructure with hay bales and outdoor space where animals roam. Educational field trips are available during the week, offering students the opportunity to learn about farm life and animal care in a hands-on environment.
