NEW farm- Be the first to stay, at discounted rates thru May 2024. Text Sandy at 850-363-8665 to discuss any questions or animals coming, before booking… Especially horses. We’re a FARMHER owned micro-farm in Northeastern Tallahassee within a few miles from I-10. The farm is a back-to-nature wellness glamping facility, in the city. We believe in enjoying the abundance of nature, with a few creature comforts. THE FARM- The farm started in the late 1800’s and has remained untouched since 2012, when the family farmhouse burnt. The farm's infrastructure is still present today, and we’ve started to uncover it after 20+ years. Purchased in 2023, Our new farm will provide a place to learn about sustainability as we practice being a good steward of the land. The backbone of the farm. We aim to serve the growing interest in ECOtourism & AGRItourism, by educating the public with farm tours. We will practice *Permaculture * Food forest *Low carbon footprint *Regenerative Farming & Rotational Grazing with *HERITAGE animals. Most of our HERITAGE animals are “MINI” and part of our traveling therapy program (zoo). The farm animals aid in the conservation efforts and create awareness of historic farm animals going EXTINCT, due to industry practices. (livestockconservancy.com) Every acre of the farm is a unique experience and our “special places” create lasting memories. Our favorite is “The Manger”. We plan to restore the old cattle shoot, holding pens and “manger” structure. In the future it will be a historical therapy petting zoo. We love our animals and they all serve multiple purposes on the farm. The farm’s one of the last larger parcels, undeveloped, in the area. Two miles from I-10 interchange, NEW Tractor Supply, Wendys, Amazon, and a new Gas station. Founded on the love of animals and a passion for sustainability, we remain committed to compassionate practices and the most natural care of our land and animals as possible. As stewards of the land and herd, we believe we have a responsibility to share nature's blessings. We offer several agritourism opportunities on the farm, from farm stays to day visits. It is our goal to create a space where our visitors can have fun and learn about the animals who share that space. We also strive to serve as a valuable resource for first time goat owners. To support that endeavor, we sell chicken eggs, specialty cottage goods, Our goal is to provide a perfect balance of peaceful connection with self and nature coupled with a connection to community. FURRY FRIENDS OVERNIGHT **Most of our rentals will offer private paddocks for their horses- limited spaces while we expand. IF YOU HAVE A HORSE TRAILER, ASK ABOUT SITES OR PARKING. *All horses staying overnight must pay overnight board fee.*Ask about available paddocks/round pens. * Trail/schooling fee not included. Horse transporters, competitors, staycations, evacuees, anyone traveling I-10, or nearby, will have a place to stay with your horses. Transporters can come in LATE and leave EARLY, after horses can stretch & rest. Horse staycations allow a chance to vacation with horses, or seek shelter from a storm. Horse competitors going to local show barns need horse boarding too. COME SEE US. Dog competitors and owners- Dog owners preferring not to stay at a hotel or relatives, when visiting. Dog competitors coming to Tallahassee or traveling through can come where there’s space for dogs to run. **WARNING** We are a new WORKING FARM. We are now open to the public but please understand we are working everyday to make improvements. Its not perfect but we think you’ll love it. You will see and hear all the farm sounds! You can pet the goats and we have animal experiences available to bottle feed them. It's always a big hit and makes great photos. Come and de-stress by snuggling our goats. These bouncing bundles of joy are guaranteed to make you smile! There are chickens and guinea fowl that are all personable and love to be fed. We also have two mini therapy certified horses, and two mini ZEBU cows that love to eat from your hand. We offer farm tours!!! There are livestock guardian dogs that protect the farm. They sleep lots during the day and patrol at night so they BARK lots at night... **Again we are a REAL WORKING FARM. SIGN UP for the animal feeding experience. It’s an upclose experience to help hand feed the whole herd, collect eggs and learn all about our special animals and see all the unique personalities we have here on the farm. If you are real adventurous you can help around the farm!!! LOCATION- We are located in northeast Tallahassee and only about twenty minutes from FSU stadium - straight shot! We love to host parents and students! Great weekend getaway! ***We also offer primitive camping sites as well in The Orchard area. No electric at campsites. WATER is available. *Need room for more occupants?? See optional add-ons for rental tent/screen rooms we will set up to allow for additional occupants at our units.

Basic cooking supplies are provided in your unit (oil, salt, pepper, etc) basic cookware, utensils, disposable and washable cups and plates. You are welcome to pick from the garden when its complete. There is also a common area, to eat and hang out. We will soon have a community fire pit for all to enjoy. BATHHOUSE- In the Homestead area we have a small rustic community bath house with a hot shower and a running toilet. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, and fresh towels provided. The Primitive Orchard area has cold water faucets and compost toilet. Both bath houses are close to all overnight areas. CHECK IN/Check-out time may be flexible depending upon concurrent bookings! We ask that you clear your campsite by 11am, but you are welcome to spend the remainder of the day hanging out with the goats, riding or just relaxing. Check in time is 2pm or later. Unless you are a returning guest please arrive before 7pm. (ALL late arrivals must be approved ahead of time, unless emergency.) Late arrivals interfere with our chore routine and it’s hard to stop and show you around. Thank you. Feel free to message if you have questions! The herd looks forward to meeting you!! PARKING- Temporary UNLOADING/LOADING- Parking for one vehicle near site. Must park in nearby guest parking afterwards. It is for the safety of our animals. We have too many free roaming animals. Thank you for understanding. BUGS- Please be aware that beginning in mid-May for about six weeks is yellow fly season in north Florida! Mosquitos are around all the time but heavier near wet areas. Note: This is Florida and a rustic farmstay. There are bugs and spiders on the property. One may even end up in the domes or tents. Please understand this before complaining about bugs. I want to make sure everyone knows it happens! We love our domes and tents, but you should know this isn't an apartment in the city :)

Farmstay 25’ RV/tent-Homestead area

A memorable safe haven for all

When I was looking for a safe place to car camp for the night, I came across Sandyland and was immediately drawn in. Sandy was very attentive and kind even though it was a little late. In the morning I was surrounded by a welcoming and spirited bunch of goats, chickens, cows, dogs and humans. Sandy and Stephen create a memorable experience for all. Just being with the animals eased any stress I came with. I left there friends with everyone I met; the comradery was awesome. Sandyland is a safe haven where anyone can escape and feel safe and welcome. I can't wait to visit again, highly recommend 10/10.

Batmans bell tent glamping farmstay

Sandyland for the win!

We had an awesome time at Sandyland! Even though it rained, we stayed dry in our tent and the generator with cooling unit was a nice touch for temperature control. The owners did a great job providing directions and even gave us a tour of the property. There are tons of friendly animals on the farm ranging from dogs to chickens to trained goats. We have never stayed at a place quite like this, it is truly unique. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Farmstay 25’ RV/tent-Homestead area

Great place for little ones.

Our overnight stop at SandyLand Farmstay was absolutely amazing! Sandy was a lifesaver with our last-minute request and made sure our stay was perfect. Traveling with our two year old grandson, we were looking for an adventure and this farm was exactly that! He had the time of his life interacting with the animals and feeding them. Sandy was so accommodating, even keeping the guinea fowl separate to ease our little one's fears. The buggy ride through the woods was a hit too! They are still adding new things to the property, and constantly improving the land. The variety of camping options, from glamping to primitive to campers/RV, meant there was something for everyone. We all had a blast and would definitely stay at SandyLand Farmstay again. It was the perfect family getaway and we can't wait to come back! Thank you, Sandy, for a wonderful experience!

Unforgettable Stay at SandyLand

We recently had the pleasure of staying at SandyLand FarmStay Glamping and had an absolutely fantastic time. We were so pleased with our experience that we would definitely return. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible hospitality. The hosts were extremely accommodating and made everything so easy for us. They were always available and responsive to our needs, which made our stay even more enjoyable. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and knew we were in good hands. The animals on the farm were a huge hit, especially with our son. He loved interacting with them and it added a special charm to our stay. The variety of animals and the opportunity to get up close and personal with them made it an unforgettable experience for him. The farm offers a unique and educational experience that is perfect for children, fostering a connection with nature and animals. Additionally, our son got the opportunity to try archery, which he absolutely loved and talked about for days. The joy on his face while practicing archery was priceless, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. The campground itself was perfect for our tent. The property is large and offers plenty of space to explore, which is encouraged by the hosts. It's a cozy and inviting place, making it ideal for families with children, especially because of the animals. The vast open space allowed us to feel a sense of freedom and adventure,

Farmstay- SMALL RV primitive site

Great couple. Had a quick overnight stay but enjoyed it all. Clean bathrooms with sinks, well stocked. Places to hangout and fun things for kids. The animals are all part of the family. They follow Sandy around like children. Lol. Recommend this place highly. They are constantly adding new things. Has a pond as well.
