Meet the animals.
Chickens and ducks wander the farmyard, and our sheep live in a fenced area. Grab a handful of feed from the coin-operated feed dispenser and feed the chickens and sheep yourself. Guests are usually welcome to collect fresh eggs too; just ask us during your stay.
Life on the farm.
Watch the seasons change across the hay fields, walk the farm lane and see a working farm up close. Glimpses of our tree-lined lake show through the trees.
In summer, hiking trails wind around the property. This winter we plan to open them for cross-country skiing once the snow arrives.
Seasonal farm events.
Each fall we host harvest hayrides with s’mores and hot chocolate. See our farm events.
