Deer Hollow Farm

Welcome back to the barnyard!

The 150 year-old Farm is an educational center where the public, school classes, and community groups can observe and participate in a historic working farm. In the tradition of a working homestead, the Farm produces food on-site, such as fresh eggs and seasonal orchard produce which are for sale when available.

For more information about the Farm, call 650-903-6430 or email deerhollowfarm@mountainview.gov. 

Visitor Information

Visitors are welcome to take a self-guided tour and learn about the history of the Farm. The friendly farm animals, a volunteer supported garden and orchard are available for viewing during regular Farm hours. Please note, the buildings and pens are closed to the general public.
