The Las Vegas Farm is an "agricultural time capsule" that produces fresh, local honey, eggs, fruits, and vegetables in the Northwest part of Las Vegas Valley.
It all started 52 years ago when Sharon Linsenbardt began selling chicken eggs to neighbors over the fence. Those neighbors would come back hours later with their children, parents, and grandparents. They would ask for more eggs and a look around her beautiful property.
Visitors are encouraged to take a break from the bustle of city life to enjoy a refreshingly slower-paced environment filled with smiling faces, well-cared-for farm animals, and locally grown food.
It also offers them an opportunity to get up close and personal with many different animals, including chickens, peacocks, ducks, a goose, turkeys, goats, pigs, horses, cows, a mule, a llama, rabbits, cats, tortoises, and more.
Visitors may purchase chicken, duck, and quail eggs, as well as freshly made pies, breads, local honey and locally grown vegetables.
The sale proceeds benefit a nonprofit organization, Barn Buddies, whose mission is to provide holistic care and shelter from rescued farm animals.
Open Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fee to visit Barn Buddies Rescue animals is $5 for adults $3 for children old enough to walk.
The farm also is available for weddings, parties, corporate retreats, field trips, and other events.
THE FARM has been around since 1961 and has been open to the public since 1968.It is truly a one-of-a-kind landmark here in the Las Vegas Valley.
