Hickey Farms

Our Farm Story

A 4 Generation Farm

In 1923, Jack “Grandpa” Hickey moved with his family to Hickey Farm. Originally a stump farm where work horses were trained, Hickey Farm has been serving the Sandpoint and Ponderay communities for generations. As a child, Grandpa Jack learned how to work the land with his own two hands. He learned his tireless work ethic from his parents, who instilled in him the importance of treating the land and people right. 

Grandpa Jack’s two children, Jim Hickey and Jacki Holt, grew up with the same values that guided him. Whether it was spending a long day baling hay in the middle of summer, or making sure everyone who visits the farm has a nice warm meal, Jim and Jacki gave Hickey Farms its heart. Jim still lives at the farm, taking care of the day-to-day business and ensuring it’s in tip-top shape for visitors. 

Jacki’s husband, Jim Holt loves the farm about as much as anyone. If he is not on the golf course you can find him on the farm with their three sons Dean,
Jeff and Mark. They help with cutting hay, felling timber and racing snowmobiles through
the fields and forest. Everyone is always trying to make visiting the farm the best experience
possible. We strive to make visitors feel like part of the family are all in a day’s work for Jim. 

The Hickey/Holt vision and creativity has made the farm what it is today. They are impeccable hosts, clearly getting their hospitality and genuine desire to make people happy from the generations before them. 

We hope you will join us to experience Hickey-Holt hospitality for yourself.  Bring a friend, the whole family, or an entire school group out for a visit. Grandpa Jack would have guaranteed you a good time. 

U-Pick Activities

U-Pick Strawberries

Hickey Farm is not just about pumpkins and hayrides. Visit us throughout the summer for U-pick strawberries! Check up-to-date days and times for your visit by visiting us on Facebook. We charge by the pound and accept card or cash. We have buckets and boxes available for you to fill (but feel free to bring your own). 

Also, we know it can sometimes be hard to stop your young child from eating the strawberries before you can even get them in the bucket. We get it. So young children can eat and pick at the same time. So bring your sun hat and come on out!  

Pumpkin Patch

Hickey Farms offers the only fully outfitted pumpkin patch in North Idaho. Bring your friends and family and find the perfect pumpkin!

"They always do a great job at welcoming all people. They take the time to talk to customers and truly care about the community. So much fun every year! The best place to take kids in the Fall if you're in the Sandpoint area."

Always a great time. The family that runs the farm are always helpful. Vendors are there to sell food and crafts. Usually, they have bouncy houses for the kids, but we were there during poor weather. Also, they have a space for birthday parties.
