Shellbark Hollow Farm sits in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania and makes award-winning artisan goat cheeses from our own herd of purebred Nubian goats. Cheesemaker Pete Demchur operates this family run business, making handmade cheese on site.  At Shellbark, we believe that fresh, no-nonsense ingredients made with care contributes to an honest relationship between the food producers and the consumers of America. Thats why we’re proud to use all natural ingredients in our products, and work hard to have the milk processed and on the market in 7 days or less.  Recognized as one of Chester County’s oldest established artisan goat dairies, Shellbark Hollow Farm provides products to many chefs, fine restaurants, retail establishments, and local farmers’ markets throughout the tri-state area.

Perfect for Groups!
We had a blast at Peter's farm. The site was perfect for our group of 7. We were stuck with some rain, but Peter laid down fresh wood chips for us and we were able to stay comfortable and dry. There were several tables and a few extra chairs which we also appreciated. Peter was communicative and responsive to any questions. We loved being able to walk around and see all the animals on the farm. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks, Pete!

Great Experience
Absolutely amazing. Everyone we talked to was so nice. The land is beautiful, and really gives you more of a real camping experience. Fresh goat milk and cheese made at the farm! Just an overall amazing experience, camping site is pretty big for its price especially so, as well as it being pretty secluded so there are no worries of loud neighbors. If we are ever in the area again I will definitely be back! :)

Beautiful Goat Farm
Peter was extremely welcoming and accommodating when we arrived. The campsite was quite spacious, clean, had lots of amenities like firewood tables chairs and benches, and even a trash can. The campsite was also a 30 second walk from the porta potty which was quite relieving ;) Peters farm overall was gorgeous and he has some of the nicest goats I have ever met. We will surely be returning. We bought a bunch of goat products at the farm store, and our favorites are the goat caramel and the goat feta.

Farm campin
Camping was great -- lots of stars when the sky is clear. Animals are a nice distance from the site: about a football field walk. I expected bugs to be a much bigger problem, with the proximity to farm animals, but there weren't many. The shower is right outside the barn! Owner prepared a nice grill top for us, it was very nice and thoughtful. Trash is handled on site too!

Camping with animals!
Peter was very friendly and made us feeling welcome. The campsite spot was shady, roomy and comfortable and it was nice that there was a fire pit, tables, some chairs and a cooking grate already set up for us. We definitely took advantage of the little farm store to load up on cheese! His puppies are a little bit loud at night, which might keep you up if you're a light sleeper. But we loved hearing the goats and other farm animals throughout the day!

Men who camp with goats
This campground was truly an experience. Our host was incredibly polite and accommodating. Our campsite was very well maintained and tucked far back enough to feel like we had our own slice of the surrounding woods. Kids (and adults alike) enjoyed seeing all the adorable goats, chickens, dogs, and other farm animals. Best part was only being an hour away from Philadelphia and about 20-25 minutes from a number of State parks to go hiking. This will definitely not be the last time I visit this farm. 10/10
