WHAT'S NEW ON THE FARM IN 2023
This year we are expecting two foals (baby horses). One the end of April and one around the Fourth of July.
We are also milking a family cow for our own milk as well. Her name is Daisy and her calfs name is Maple. Maple was born in March on the maple full moon. We do a calf share where the calf is with her mom part of the time and we are still able to milk her.
Our mini horse, Annabell is now pulling a cart and giving rides! So much fun!
We will have Great Pyrenees puppies from end of April through mid July. Come and spend some time with them!
We also have two new additions to the farm. A pony mule, named Molly, in which I am planning to train to pull a cart and a cream colored pony, named Whinny as well, for riding.
ABOUT DOREEN
I’m an entrepreneur. I’m all about health and taking care of the mind, body and spirit.
I’m an organic farmer, an animal nut, health coach, mindset mentor
and Psych-K facilitator.
I have six children and hosted three foreign exchange students. I love kids, animals (especially horses) and nature. I love anything and everything about health and personal growth and well being.
ABOUT THE FARM
We have a working, organic farm with a lot of animals, however, we also do crops as well. This particular farm is 138 acres with 8 acres of woods. We have working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, a few
ducks, chickens, a couple goats, a mini horse and outdoor cats on our farm. We have some super great animals. Most of which are very friendly.
You never know what will be available to see on the farm when you visit. We are expecting a foal (baby horse) this summer (2021)
and are already planning for another foal next summer as well. We often have puppies as well and sometimes we have to bottle feed lambs. There's never a dull moment.
Our farm is unique in the way of having a very positive VIBE to it. The energy is awesome! It's really a space of tranquility and healing if you allow yourself to go there.
After hosting with air bnb for a little over a year now, we decided to give this a try as well. We love hosting people and having them come to the farm and enjoy our way of life. It also helps to have a supplemental income as having and running a small family farm isn't very sustainable. Typically there's off the farm jobs to help pay for the farm life. It's a crazy equation. Small family farms are far and few between. Please support your local farmer if possible! It is greatly appreciated!
What a beautiful property! we loved waking up to the horses in the field. Doreen was very accommodating and helpful. The property was clean and the outhouse was well kept. She was very kind with our kids and even showed us how she cared for her cow and horses. We stayed 2 nights because we were passing through but wish we could’ve stayed longer it was such a nice little paradise. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s looking for a little bit of farm life and tranquility. Thank you Doreen and family for your hospitality. We wish you all the very best.
RV camping at Doreen’s farm exceeded expectations. The farm feels like the heart center of a community of family and friends. The property is exquisitely maintained and her animals are majestic. Setup was a piece of cake. Easy pull-thru via the circle drive. Great spot whether you have kids, pets, or both. We will absolutely be back! Be sure to add on the horseback riding option for a super special experience.
From beginning to end this was a perfect experience with a delightful couple who so clearly love what they do, from the land they work to the animals they tend. Their stewardship of both makes you believe there are still good people in the world. Their property is tidy and well maintained, they are communicative and generous with their time.
This was a beautiful, peaceful stay on a working farm. Doreen was busy getting the place ready for a big party but took the time to make sure we had everything we needed. Was wonderful to wake up and gaze across the field to see the beautiful grazing horses! We found out our dog Sandy has a bit of a sheep herding instinct (the 4 farm dogs straightened her out).
My family and I camped at BF&E Organics Farm for one night and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The host, Doreen, and her family are awesome and friendly. Doreen was beyond hospitable and maintained great kindness and communication. This place is definitely a great spot to spend your time. It is spotless, peaceful, and very clean. Our kid was thrilled to see and touch the different animals on the farm. 10/10, I would always recommend. Thank you, Doreen!
Doreen and family are great people and my family and I have an amazing time and beautiful country view every time we stay here.
The price of eggs and meat are reasonable as well as tasty.
