After more than three decades of welcoming families, school groups and animal lovers, Old MacDonald’s Farm in Humble is preparing to close its gates for good.
The longtime family attraction announced on Facebook that it will permanently close on Nov. 30, ending 34 years of business in the Greater Houston area.
“After 34 years of serving our community, we are saddened to announce the closing of our business,” the family wrote.
Located at 3203 FM 1960 Road East, Old MacDonald’s Farm first opened in the spring of 1991 and became a popular destination for families looking to enjoy a day outdoors, interact with farm animals and participate in school field trips.
In its announcement, the family reflected on the legacy of Donald, who founded and built the business from the ground up.
“This place was more than just a business to him. It was his passion, his hard work, and a huge part of his life,” the post read.
The family said the farm would not be the same without Donald, describing him as the heart and soul of the operation.
“For 34 years, this business has been fortunate enough to be part of this incredible community,” the family wrote. “We have built relationships, made lifelong connections, and had the privilege of serving so many wonderful people along the way.”
The farm will remain open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Nov. 30, giving families one last opportunity to visit before the closure.
The business said all existing reservations through Nov. 30 will continue as scheduled. Families with reservations are being asked to remain patient as the business prepares to close.
The announcement did not provide additional details about what will happen to the property or the farm’s animals after the closure.
“To our loyal customers, friends, and community, thank you,” the family wrote. “Thank you for your support, your trust, your friendships, and the love you have shown this business and our family over the last 34 years.”
“Although this chapter is coming to an end, the legacy he built and the memories made along the way will always remain,” the family added.
