Heifer Ranch

Heifer Ranch, located in Perryville, AR (45 miles Northwest of Little Rock), is one of Heifer International's learning centers providing experiential education that promotes sustainable solutions to global hunger, poverty and environmental degradation.

Tours are available for drop-in visitors (10 or less) Monday-Saturday from 8-5 pm Central time. All overnight programs and group tours require advance reservations thru the Ranch Events Office. During the tour, visitors see the Heifer Global Village and many of the animals that Heifer uses around the world, including water buffalo, camels and traditional farm animals. The International Gift Shop features products from around the world that help support artisans at the local level.

Heifer Ranch is home to the original Heifer Global Village, a unique five-acre program area, representing housing found in areas of the world where Heifer operates. View the George Lucas Educational Foundation documentary on this program.

Many of the animals that Heifer utilizes around the world are kept on the Ranch's 1,200 acre farm and are integrated into aspects of its educational programs including several farm programs.

More than 28,000 visitors a year participate in programs including two-hour tours, multi-day and weeklong experiences. Programs are offered for groups with select programs available to individuals. The Ranch also hosts free public events each year. 

Volunteers facilitate many of the Ranch's programs. These volunteers come from many areas of the world and range from high school and college graduates to retirees. The Ranch is a community filled with people who are actively working to end hunger and poverty while caring for the earth.
