Old MacDonald’s Farm in Humble to Close After 34 Years

A longtime Houston-area staple, Old MacDonald’s Farm, has announced that it will permanently close on November 30, 2026, after serving the community for over three decades. The family-run business confirmed the closure on its Facebook page, noting that operations will end following the death of the man who built the farm from the ground up 34 years ago.

Family members stated that running the business simply will not be the same without its founder, Donald. Over the decades, he poured immense hard work into establishing the farm as a beloved local destination for families and school field trips.

In their public statement, the family expressed deep gratitude to the community. "For 34 years, this business has been fortunate enough to be part of this incredible community," the statement read. "We have built relationships, made lifelong connections, and had the privilege of serving so many wonderful people along the way."

Expressing thanks to loyal customers and friends for their trust, support, and friendships, the family acknowledged the meaningful journey they shared with the public. They also asked for patience from customers as staff actively work to contact anyone with existing field trip reservations.

Guests hoping to visit the farm one last time still have the opportunity to do so before operations wrap up permanently. Regular business hours will continue daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through November 30.

The farm confirmed that all existing reservations scheduled through the final closing date will proceed as normal. Visitors are encouraged to stop by during regular operating hours in the coming weeks to experience the landmark before it closes its gates for good.
