Tom and Gene Williams are founders and owners of the Reindeer Farm. Tom grew up on this very farm in the 1950's as a teenager. It was a dairy farm at that time, and Tom has many memories kept in the Colony barn and house still standing. Tom had a dream to own a moose farm. He and his father were avid Moose hunters with a great appreciation for these majestic creatures. In Alaska it is impossible to own a moose or have a moose farm, but Reindeer however are domesticated animals. A new vision was created.

In 1987 Tom went to Northern Canada to purchase a herd of reindeer. They were brought here to the farm and taught how to eat grains and local hay. The first herd consisted of 20 reindeer. Since 1987 the herd has been as high as 300, but currently sits around 100. Tom and Gene have since both passed, and their oldest daughter Denise Williams Hardy and her family have been running the farm since 2011.

Today the farm has 100 reindeer, 2 Rocky Mountain Elk, Dolly the Bison, Appa the Yak, and Rocky the Moose. We do daily tours during the summer season on the farm, trail rides on horseback up the Butte, off the farm shows with the reindeer, movies, commercials, home visits, the Running of the Reindeer at Fur Rondy and more!
