Columbia-Montour Quarterly Vol. 17: July - September 2025

Sadly, Lloyd, the patriarch of this incredible farm, passed away in November 2023. His son, Jared, has now stepped up to help Dolly manage the farm and continue providing tours. Since Lloyd’s passing, Jared has added a new feed bunker to meet the growing demand for feed. The herd today has expanded to over 500 head of red deer. Calves are born in June, and until the birthing season is over, an accurate headcount will have to wait. Jared is also planning to fence in some of the fields to protect them from the white-tailed deer and other grain eaters that invade the grain fields. Every time I tour the Rolling-Hills Red Deer Farm, I leave with amazing pictures and wonderful stories. If you’re interested in taking a tour, call the farm at 570-356-7482. They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM. Reservations are re- quired. You can also visit them on their website or Facebook. In memory of Lloyd George, May 1942 – November 2023.

A visit to the Red Deer Farm is a clear hit with the little ones!
