Specialties
Halbert Farm is a premier destination for rare heritage livestock encounters, specializing in the breeding and showing of gentle Kunekune pigs, delightful Miniature Zebu cows, Salmon Faverolle and Silkie chickens, turkeys, and ducks. For visitors who love animals but aren't looking to start a farm, you can book our unique 1.5-hour up close and personal tour, which includes our signature Kunekune pig cuddle experience, where you'll feed treats and interact closely with all our residents. For those ready to own a unique breed, we offer Kunekune pigs for adoption (available as pets or registered breeding stock), Miniature Zebu, and a variety of our rare chickens and ducks for sale, all backed by mentorship from us.
History
Established in 2013.
Rebeka, originally from Hawaii, who always dreamed of having a farm and her dad, Dennis, who grew up on a farm and wanted to retire on one, fulfilled their dreams moving to Burleson on 3 acres. They started with just a handful of chickens and quickly grew into the 10-acre farm we have today. Josh, a Texas native but not a farmer, met Rebeka in 2016 and quickly fell in love with the farm life. Though we sadly lost Rebeka's father to cancer in 2022, his founding passion and dedication to these animals continues to drive the farm's mission today. Halbert Farm is fiercely committed to saving and improving rare heritage breeds. We are deeply committed to breed quality, which is why we actively show our animals—currently holding Champion titles for our Kunekune Pigs and Salmon Faverolle chickens, and learning the ropes of showing our Mini Zebu cows.

Halbert Farm was founded in 2013 by Rebeka, a retired U.S. Navy veteran and Software Engineer with a lifelong passion for animals. While Josh started as a "city boy" from Texas, he quickly fell in love with the lifestyle and now manages the farm’s daily operations and hosts the daily farm tours.
