About Ford Farms

Ford Farms is a family-owned farm park where visitors connect with animals and learn about agricultural life. The operation offers mobile petting zoo experiences, hand-guided pony rides, gem mining activities, and private farm tours. Guests interact with rescued and hand-raised animals including various farm species while learning about their care and behavior. The farm hosts educational field trips, private parties, and special events designed for both children and adults. Animals at the facility are healthy, gentle, and socialized to engage with visitors. Most animals are rescues that have become family pets and working partners on the property. The farm occupies a historic location on the outskirts of Exeter in Lindsay, California, ten miles east of Tulare. Originally built in the 1930s as a recreation destination, the property later served as a movie prop set for Western films during the 1950s and as an aircraft landing site during World War II.
