For more than 60 years, Forest View Farms has served the Chicago's South and Western Suburbs with joy and pride. We have brought the wonder of horseback riding to thousands of customers, as well as the love of cuddling a baby goat (or one of our many other petting zoo animals) to all that come to our farm.

This is a difficult time for all small businesses. We are unable to generate our normal income levels from trail rides, pony parties, or other activities due to the social distancing regulations. Some of our most anticipated events of the year - our Haunted Hayrides - had to be redesigned into smaller non-haunted events to make them feasible.

Compounding on the loss of income is that our expenses do not decrease when our activities are limited. Animals must still be cared for at a high level, and we have seen a large increase in cost of feed and shavings.
