For safety reasons and insurance purposes, all visits to Moss Mountain Farm must be guided tours. Since it is a working farm, we use farm equipment to maintain its beautiful and sustainable environment. If you’d like to schedule a tour to come and explore the farm, please visit our website at pallensmith.com/tours.
We like to tell guests to be there at 9:30. This allows us to get everyone checked in and in the right spot for their tours.
The gates will be open 30 minutes before the tour begins. The tours start exactly at 10:00 a.m. You don’t need a ticket, whether it’s digital or printed, to get in. Your name will be on a list at the registration area near the bathrooms and gift shop next to the parking lot.
You’ll be walking up to 2 miles while touring the grounds, so it’s best to wear comfortable walking shoes. You can walk as much or as little as you want. It’s also a good idea to wear a hat and sunscreen for added protection.
Yes, you can visit the Moss Mountain Farm Gift Shop during the tour. They have a special collection of items chosen by P. Allen Smith, including books, artwork, gifts inspired by the seasons, soaps and lotions, honey, jams, and much more!
No need to worry! We don’t cancel the tour just because of rain. Simply come prepared with an umbrella and rubber boots, and you’ll be good to go!

Absolutely! Prepare to have a remarkable experience connecting with the land as you savor a delightful farm-to-table lunch. Indulge in a seasonal recipe handpicked from P. Allen Smith’s book, “Seasonal Recipes from the Garden.” And for the grand finale, treat yourself to a heavenly slice of Allen’s renowned buttermilk pecan pie, topped with homemade whipped cream. It’s a culinary journey you won’t want to miss!
The lunch consists of a delightful chicken salad made with fresh farm-to-table vegetables. And, of course, you can’t miss out on the mouthwatering pecan pie for dessert—it’s absolutely delicious! If you’re interested in trying the recipes yourself, you can find them in P. Allen Smith’s cookbook titled P. Allen Smith’s Seasonal Recipes from the Garden.
Lunch is usually served around noon. If you have any food allergies, please inform us when confirming your reservations, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
The tour typically concludes around 2pm.
While we can’t guarantee Allen’s presence on every tour, he does make an effort to join as many as possible. On approximately 90% of the tours, you’ll have the chance to meet and interact with him.
Unfortunately, Moss Mountain Farm is not able to accommodate pets. As it is a working farm, we kindly request that you make suitable arrangements for your furry companions.
