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.
