30+ Acres of coy south-facing slope nestled in the Berkshire foothills of Western MA. Right along the Westfield River, glorious views of rolling hills and cows and sheep frolicking in their pasture abound! This mid-century horse farm property is being transitioned into a perennial plant nursery with a focus on delicious fruits, pollinator flowers and medicinal herbs - with silvopasture cows, sheep and more underPitch your tent on level ground at the foot of beautiful hill, looking out onto a green pasture, home to a couple of sweet and personable Jersey cows. This location is very quiet and secluded, but is near a railroad which often has occasional nighttime use. We recommend ear protection for sleeping if you're a light sleeper.

Incredible location
Absolutely beautiful farm, lots of animals to see, plants and meat for sale, large open campsites for privacy, the night sky is full of stars, friendly hosts and nice compost toilets. 10/10 would recommend for getting away from it all and I'll definitely be going back again.

Good times
We showed up with a pretty big pack of family for my son's 4th birthday camping trip party. Everyone loved the site and all the kids loved the animals that wandered by from time to time. It's laid back and quiet- until the 3 minutes of train passes by... but it's over fast. Use care and stake your tents well... sometimes a pretty stiff wind blows by out of nowhere. Everyone had fun and some of my family will probably visit on their own.

Beautiful fall camping - wish I had more time to explore a trail that went down from the farm - lots of cows milling about which was cute. Found some ticks and critters as well - part of it.

Margaret's farm was great! The cows came over to look at us over the fence and I was surprised how friendly they were! Happy cows! Be prepared for a train, which you cannot see, but can definitely hear! The meadow and scenery were fantastic, and the crickets and frogs sung us to sleep.

Secluded farm camp under the stars
What a wonderful stay! We fell asleep to crickets and barred owls, and woke to the catbirds and cows. The secluded spot up above the barn offers such great views of the ridges and distant hills. Thanks so much for hosting us Felix and Margaret :)
