About Us
Haystack Homestead is a North Carolina–based safe, educational, and fun mobile farm that brings custom farm experiences animal encounters, pony rides and other hands-on farm education fun directly to events and venues. We specialize in creating authentic, educational, and memorable farm experiences for festivals, cities, communities, schools, churches, retirement facilities corporate events, and private celebrations throughout western North Carolina, southwestern Virginia and surrounding areas.
Haystack Homestead is not a walk-in farm or homestead blog. We are a fully mobile service, meaning our animals and team travel to the client’s location to provide safe, educational, engaging, and professionally managed farm experiences tailored to each event.
At Haystack Homestead we’re more than just a farm — we’ve also founded and support a sanctuary dedicated to animal care, education, and community. By booking Haystack Homestead Mobile Farm Experiences, you’re supporting a local, women-owned & operated farm business that dedicates much of its profits to funding Serendipity Sanctuary, a North Carolina non-profit and registered 501(c)(3). Founded by Michele - inspired and co-managed by her daughter Elysian (Mimi), Haystack Homestead is both a farm and a mission, committed to providing lifelong farm animal care and unforgettable, convenient, farm animal education and experiences for our community and beyond.
