Our Story

A family farm with a passion for cattle

Meet the Family

Welcome to Pappy's Farm

Located in the beautiful Farr West, Utah near Ogden, Pappy's Farm is a multigenerational dairy farm founded in 1926. For the past 100 years the Papageorge family has focused on raising registered Holsteins and Jerseys. Recently they added their first Highland bull, Harry.

What started as a passion for cattle has grown into something much bigger—a destination where families, friends, and animal lovers can experience the joy of farm life firsthand.

Our Highland cattle aren't just animals to us; they're family. We believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the peace and happiness that comes from spending time with these gentle, fluffy creatures.

Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission

"Connecting hearts to agriculture through Highland charm and unforgettable on-farm adventures."

We're dedicated to creating meaningful experiences that bring people closer to the land, the animals, and each other. Every visit to our farm is an opportunity to step away from the digital world and reconnect with what truly matters.

Our Vision

"To be a leading agritourism destination where people come to laugh, learn, and feel connected."

We envision Pappy's Pocket Cattle as a place where lasting memories are made—where children discover the wonder of farm animals, where families bond over shared experiences, and where everyone leaves with a smile and a story to tell.

The Perfect Farm Friend

Why Highland Cattle?

Highland cattle are known for their gentle temperament, distinctive appearance, and friendly personalities.

With their long, shaggy coats and iconic curved horns, Highland cattle are some of the most photogenic and approachable farm animals you'll ever meet. Originally from the Scottish Highlands, these hardy cattle have adapted to various climates and are known for being exceptionally calm and good-natured.

Our micro mini Highland, Harry, is the perfect ambassador for the breed. His smaller size makes him ideal for close interactions with visitors of all ages, while his curious and friendly nature ensures every visit is filled with heartwarming moments.
