Meadow Farm is a quiet and creative sanctuary surrounded by the forest. The ocean breezes freshen the air and the pulse of the planet is heard as the surf sounds travel to put us to rest at night.. We are a place for people experimenting with the new old ways to live with low impact and conservation of our precious resources. We offer affordable accommodations, organic gardening, and education on plants and living simply. We welcome your interest in veganic garden and diet, orchards, and forest trails. Our organic vegetables and fruit may be available if you wish to bring some of our farm to your table. Our garden is reduced this time of year but we may still have something to share. We can offer you a quiet and peaceful place without social pressures if you wish to "decompress" from city life, jobs or any stressful times. Or come to the communal fire near the bathhouse for sharing some time with family and the few other campers that may be there. Bringing your own wood is welcome. The coastal bike and hike trails are many. From South of Ft Bragg to the Sand Dunes near Ward Ave. you can travel over 7 miles one way and go down to quiet little beach coves along the way. Meadow Farm is a nonprofit 501c3 with goals of coastal food security, disaster preparation and sheltering, carbon sequestering and forest restoration. We offer native plant tours on or off site with advance notice. We like our dog companions! Two McNab collies, Moxie and Shama live here and may bark at first...still very friendly and social with people and other dogs.. There are several dog friendly off-leash areas such as, Noyo North Harbor Beach, Seaside Beach and dog parks in both Ft Bragg and Mendocino. Our farm is dog friendly tho we wish pets to be kept close, must be neutered and friendly to other dogs and people. Please be sure to bury or bag the waste. Speaking of waste, Meadow Farm strives to reduce waste by avoiding plastic as much as possible, recycling what we can and composting our veggie scraps. Please bring your own waste receptacles and take them along when you go. We take ours to the Caspar Transfer Station which is open Saturday through Wednesday... the location and hours can be found online. Our water is from a deep well and we periodically test it for bacteria. It is cold and delicious. Our irrigation pipes that have spigots and hoses at each camp are safe for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Our solar pump moves water into storage tanks that provide all the water to the farm. It is very important that the water valves on your camp spigot is turned off (gently please) to avoid losing 2500 gallons of water in a short time. If you see a leak or break in a line please contact us immediately. There are also water shut offs for the camps on the west side of the Farm House if you are unable to reach us right away.. When doing dishes we request that you use the strainer to catch food particles from the dish water and toss them in your trash or compost bucket. If you have vegetable waste let us know and we can pick them up for adding to the worm bins or composting piles. We make worm "tea" fertilizer and rich soil from these offerings. No animal products or oil please... a few egg shells are okay. We do have the usual wildlife though we haven't had problems with them. Ravens will raid your camp if food or bags are left out while you are away. From dusk to dawn keep children and pets close. We coexist well here with the critters...and glad to have them. Wishing you a very peaceful and soul refreshing stay at Meadow Farm. Come and allow this natural setting to heal and restore your sense of well-being.

Cozy Cabin at The Garden

Serenity

The cozy cabin is indeed cozy, quiet, peaceful and perfect. A beautiful place to get away. The meadow is fragrantly sweet. The gardens are inspiring.

Red Tail Hawk Camp

We loved this place. You hear the roar of the ocean at night and wake up to lovely bird songs. Kind, charming hosts.

Red Tail Hawk Camp

Red Tail Hawk

Red Tail Hawk was one of 3 sites on a flat open field on the owner’s home property. The sites all back up onto a forest & they’re pretty much the same, so don’t spend too much time trying to decide between the 3. The sawdust toilet was amazing! So clean & no smell whatsoever. Why don’t all campgrounds do this?! Sojourna & Louisa gave us a nice tour of their garden & let us pick some beans which was lovely. The only bummer was that each campsite did not have their own campfire. The one fire ring is communal & we really enjoyed it when we were the only guests but more guests arrived the next night & they got to it first. I know we could’ve/should’ve joined them but sometimes you’re in the mood to hang out with strangers & sometimes you’re not. So it got pretty cold for us. Bundle up to see the magnificent stars at night. The coast is chilly even in June.

Cozy Cabin at The Garden

Hidden Gem!

We loved our stay at the Cozy Cabin. It was exactly what we were looking for - no frills, farm views, proximity to town & beaches. Would def recommend! We brought our 5 month old puppy & she also had a great time sniffing around and playing fetch.

RV R & R

Very nice and calm RV spot on the countryside. We could hear peacocks all day :) Great tour of the Meadow Farm. The spot is very shaded, we had to hunt for a bit of sunshine, because otherwise it was very cold (low 50s, end of May). No access to black water dump station was a bit limiting.
