Grant's Farm

Grant's Farm definitely has a warm place in our team's heart. We love hosting a family event for our team every summer. Read below to find out more about what makes Grant's Farm special. 

Grant’s Farm is located in St. Louis, Missouri. It is a 281-acre farm, with a variety of animals spanning from six continents.

Grant’s Farm was established by Ulysses S. Grant on the land that was gifted to his wife after their marriage in 1848. Starting in 1903, Grant’s farm has been owned by the Busch family, who is known for previously owning Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company. After Busch Sr died, August Busch Jr, opened the farm to the public. Ever since it has been a St. Louis tradition.

The farm is great for all ages, but especially kids. Little kids will love to visit the petting zoo during their visit. While older kids will most likely enjoy seeing the Clydesdales. For Adults, every visit to Grant’s Farm includes a free Anheuser-Busch beer tasting.
