Our Story

A barnyard twist on the beverage bar.

At Gravot Hill Farm, we raise Highland cattle and miniature donkeys with patience, care, and halter training from day one. We bring that same gentle crew to your celebration — turned out in florals and ready to pour. It's part agritourism, part wow-factor, entirely unforgettable.

Highland Steers

Shaggy, gentle giants with ginger coats and signature sweeping horns. Our steers man the signature beverage bar — calm, photogenic, and always the centerpiece of the cocktail hour.

Mini Beverage Burros

Pocket-sized donkeys decked in florals and fitted with custom drink trays. They roam the crowd passing out beverages, mingling with guests, and stealing every heart in the room.
