Hermitage Farm
Overview
With roots that span generations, Hermitage is a world-class equine operation tied to Oldham County, Kentucky’s rich farming industry.Purchased in the 1800’s as part of a land grant, Hermitage has been a working farm for nearly two centuries. Today broodmares, foals, and yearlings graze the land that has long been recognized as some of the most fertile and productive in Kentucky.
Hermitage Farm is a private and historic farm located in Oldham County, Kentucky. The farm operates as an equine maternity ward and nursery for most of the year, producing over 200 stakes winners since its inception.
Past Thoroughbred residents at Hermitage include a number of champions including Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, and Breeders’ Cup winners, as well as more than 200 stakes winners. The farm’s legacy stands as a tribute to the land, the horses, and the people who are Hermitage.
