1 site · RV, Tent30 acres · Cabot, VTSocks Family farm is the largest remaining piece of the Urban dairy farm, for which the road is named. When the hurricane of 1938 hit New England, farmers Bernard and Arreca Urban and their daughter Velma took shelter in their dairy barn, and watched their little farm cabin tumble down. After the storm, Bernard built a sturdy farmhouse, complete with hurricane rods in the walls, embedded in the bedrock. We live in that house, and had the pleasure of being friends with Velma for a number of years, till her death in 2016. We moved to this land in 2007 with our two small children, hoping to grow food and give our kids a rural childhood. We succeeded in some things, failed in others, and have many things we'd still like to try. Every season brings change, and we do our best to learn and grow from the opportunities we are given.Learn more about this land:Socks Family Farm comprises 30 acres, high in the hills of Cabot VT. Our campsites are nestled at the edges of the fields and woods. The fields are meadowland, where we pasture our animals, cut hay, and enjoy the company of a diverse cohort of grasses, flowers, insects, and birds. The fields are open, with ample sunshine and steady breezes. On clear nights, the stars are lovely, and if you're fortunate to be here on a moonless night, you'll be treated to the breathtaking sweep of the Milky Way. During the day, you can linger in the gardens, visit the sheep and chickens, wade in the pond, hike in the woods, walk the lovely dirt roads, or head out on your bike. If you're ready to range further, we're a short drive to hiking, paddling, fishing, swimming, epic mountain biking, quaint eateries, microbreweries, and more. St Johnsbury and Montpelier are the closest cities (25 and 35 minutes). Burlington is 1.25 hours, and Montreal is 2.5 hours.We moved to this land in 2007 with our two small children, and began developing a homestead. Over time, we built 2 greenhouses, a large equipment shed, planted and fenced an orchard, berry & perennial patch, & vegetable garden, made several flower gardens, set up systems for pasturing sheep and chickens, planted native shrubs and trees, and completely renovated the farmhouse. We practice organic regenerative agriculture and landscaping, with a deep commitment to strengthening and diversifying ecological systems. We offer free farm tours, and those who want to help & learn are welcome. We love the beauty of this land, and look forward to sharing it with you.
