Hello! We are family farm mainly focused on Nigerian Dwarf and Mini-Nubian goats, Kunekune pigs, and silkie chickens! We also have a couple cows, peacocks, alpaca, ducks, quail, pigeons, sheep, mini equine, and rabbits. We can offer as much or as little farm experience as you’d like! Lend us a hand or book baby goat cuddling and sit in the pasture in a sea of friendly goats!! Baby goat cuddling and farm tours can be added on for an extra fee, check our extras! We usually get up early and do our farm chores, and depending on the time of year we could be bottle feeding baby goats or calves, delivering baby goats, or working on outdoor farm projects. Our home was built in 1864 and our barn is original! Our property is not far from Montpelier, the home of our 4th president, and about an hour from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. We love wine tasting in Charlottesville, and taking day trips to Shenandoah National Park. We are 45 minutes from Fredericksburg, 28 minutes from Culpeper, and 20 minutes from Lake Anna. Send us a message and learn more about all we have to offer!

We had a great time at Laura's! The space was open and there was a huge tree which provided nice shade. Laura provided fire wood for the campfire as well as a grate if we wanted to cook over the fire. We purchased eggs and had those for breakfast and they were delicious! We took a tour of the farm and even fed the baby goats and calves which were the highlights of the camping trip for our 6yr old. We also made use of the playground which was another highlight for our 6 yr old. Overall, we had a great time at Laura's and the kiddo has already asked when we can go back. Thank you!

Skoolie on the Farm
Laura's farm is wonderful. The animals are fun to watch and the bus was very comfortable. Laura was welcoming and available, but left us alone to do our thing. Before we even left, my 4-year-old son asked to come back, but wants to stay for a week on the next visit. Highly recommend this experience, especially for young kids.

Had a great time with the little ones at Happy Meadows farm, Laura’s historic hobby farm. Laura and her husband are wonderful hosts. My two year old and her six year old bestie got to collect eggs for breakfast, feed baby goats, and feed baby cows! They played at the playground and in general had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend and we’ll return!

Goat dreams came true in a Skoolie!
We had an amazing getaway! The bus was perfect and comfy/cozy! Laura was an amazing host. The animals were the very best park. Anyone looking to live the goat or farm animal dream - this is the place for you! I will miss it all. Definitely coming back!

Farm Camping
Laura was an exceptional host! Camping at her farm was not only delightful but also a lot of fun. We had the freedom to interact with the animals, which was a real treat. The highlight of our trip was petting and bottle feeding the baby goats and cows. We also met her cats, Bandit and Salem, who are incredibly cuddly and friendly. Salem even welcomed himself into our tent one morning to make some farm fresh biscuits! We highly recommend camping here to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable outdoor experience.

We had a lot of fun playing with all the animals. If you are an animal lover and want to be somewhere where you are really hanging right out with the animals this is your place! Holding, feeding, and playing with the baby goats was the highlight of the trip. If you are looking for a secluded campsite this isn’t the best option. For what we wanted it was perfect.
