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!

The campsite at Laura's farm is a delightful experience filled with opportunities for animal interaction, making it a hit with families and animal lovers alike. Guests rave about the friendly atmosphere and the chance to engage with baby goats and other farm animals, which often become the highlight of the visit. While the rustic accommodations are generally well-received, some guests noted a lack of privacy and quiet, as well as unclear directions to the site. Overall, it's a charming spot for those seeking a farm adventure, though solo campers looking for peace might find it less ideal.

A sweet and basic, cozy place
I stayed at the end of December for one night on my way from upstate NY to FL. It's a beautiful farm and both animals and people are friendly and sweet. The Skoolie lodging is adorable and charming, and very basic. The outhouse might benefit from a little attention and renovation at some point, but it served the purpose and did not smell bad at all. The shower was not in operation while I was there but there is a well pump and the water was good. I slept like a baby on the nice foam mattress - I brought all my own bedding and it was plenty cozy enough for me, though the night was chilly. There is a heater available though I did not use it. I slept well past day break and had a nice walk about the place and met lots of the sweet animals, and was greeted by Laura who is lovely and friendly and seems to be realizing her dreams through this place. Spectacular views of the landscape, stunning sunset.

💯 fun experience
I love the old-school bus, and the interior had a gorgeous, vintage style. It was a wonderful romantic trip with my partner. Laura was very communicative throughout the weekend. When I had car troubles, she immediately offered to help. We can’t wait to visit that place again during the warm weather!

We loved our stay! It was great to see so many animals, and our hostess went above and beyond while we were there. our site shared a toilet and shower with another site but we didn’t find it to be inconvenient. Thanks for having us!

Kid friendly animals!
Camping next to the goats and corn fields are what little boys dreams are made of! Great experience for petting all the friendly animals.

Cuddly goats
Laura was a formidable host and the farm offered great exploration for the little ones. The baby goats were adorable. Only stayed one night but we enjoyed our time at the farm. Excellent spot for animal discovery and pumpkin fun.
