Upland Hills Farm was founded by Knight and Dorothy Webster in 1960. Knight was a farm boy from Wisconsin with a degree in agriculture and Dorothy was an educator. Their dream was to bring the joys and lessons of rural life to an ever increasing urban society.

That dream has taken many paths through the years. The Farm has grown from 1,000 people served in 1960 to over 100,000 people annually today. We've expanded programs from the initial day camp and hayrides to the programs described below.

The traditions of the farm are now being carried on by a second generation: Steve and Leslie Webster, with Casey Berant as the Camp Director and Farm Manager.

Sunday visits We are open to the public every Sunday from 10am - 5pm, June 7 - September 27, 2009. Your family can go on a hayride, visit the animal, play on the playgrounds and milk a cow. Click here for more information.

School Assembly Program If your school can't come to us, we can come to your school. We simply load up the truck with all different kinds of farm animals and two farmers. Bring everybody into the gym for a farm assembly program that teaches children where our food and fiber come from.
