What to Expect
Located between Hutto and Taylor — serving the greater Austin area.
Please reach us at stacy@minimischiefranch.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Farm clothes! Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended (boots or sneakers). Kids may want a light jacket depending on the weather, and clothing that can handle a little dust/dirt — this is a real ranch and we play outside.
We ranch in real life — so we do class in light rain or chilly weather and will use our covered areas when needed. If weather is unsafe (heavy rain, lightning, extreme conditions), I’ll reach out to reschedule.
Parents are not required to stay, but you are always welcome to! Some parents love hanging out nearby (or even joining in), especially when kids are new to the ranch — totally up to you.

We currently have families receiving scholarship support across both program types, and every private visit, donation, and sponsorship helps us continue offering these opportunities to more families who need them.
📩 If you’d like to inquire about scholarship availability, please reach out — we’re happy to walk you through the options.
