We purchased our 45 acre farm in 1997, since then we have operated a sustainable small organic farm. In January of 2018 we purchased 58 more acres that is attached to our land. The property has a greenhouse, high tunnel and about a half acre of field that we raise vegetables & fruit on. We have a 3 acre pond with a naturally sustaining fish population, that we swim & boat in. There are hiking trails that go through many small pastures and woods with streams running through them. Plenty of wildlife, hiking & mountain biking areas. We have a certified kitchen at the farm and have products raised & made on the farm for folks to purchase. Supposedly our house is haunted and there are a couple of haunted sites within 15 miles of the farm.

Site 2 - Ponds Edge
Total Vibe!
Highly Recommend! Site 2 on the pond is so serene and a total vibe! It feels so secluded and having the ability to fish, swim and canoe/paddle board at anytime is perfect. Going through the greenhouse with Mark and picking farm fresh veggies and apples was awesome. Debbie special delivered brown butter cookies and the sourdough, both of which are amazing. The hosts are all so kind and hospitable. We had an incredible time and will definitely be returning!

Cottage in the woods
A lovely location with great outdoor activities and helpful, friendly hosts. We have a large family and the little cottage was charming and held all of us, while allowing us time to enjoy nature and the animals on the farm.

Amazing stay
We loved camping at the ranch! The scenery is breathtaking and the hosts were amazing. At night time the sky is fully lit up with stars and it was a sight to see. We purchased ribeyes stakes and they were delicious.
