This Must Be THE PLACE!
Mesta Meadows isn't only a place to shop, it's a place to slow down, get your hands dirty, and make the kind of memories that last. Whether you're rolling in with an RV, bringing the kids, or planning something special, there's a way for you to experience the meadows firsthand.
Some things you just have to see for yourself.
Tours
Our petting zoo is open on Saturday from 10 am until 3 pm. It is free, but there is no group or supervision during the tour. One of the best ways to experience the ranch is through a tour. We do offer guided tours for groups up to 50 people (for groups over 50 we contact us directly and we can make special arrangements). We offer several types of tours including:
Feed The Animals Tour: Join us in feeding the animals, interact with them - get to know the entire crew at the ranch!
Large Group Tours: Experience the different types of animals, learn about how we care for them, and learn about ranching in the Ozarks.
Atelait Creamery Tour: This guided tour lets you see the entire process, from the sheep producing milk, to the Grade A Dairy barn, the Creamery, and you end up the tour with an ice cream tasting!
Bring The Meadows Experience To Your Place: Yes, we have a traveling petting zoo. You can have the experience of a sheep, goats, livestock guard dogs, and even a mini highland at your home, place of business, VBS, or event! We can even bring ice cream!
Ozark Highland Sheep, Fiber, and Farm Festival
Once a year, the meadows come alive with live music, sheep shearing, craft vendors, food trucks, a petting zoo, and more. It's a celebration of everything this land and community have to offer and you don't want to miss it.
