Dream Seed Farm

4 sites · RVs, Tents18 acres · Jemseg, NB

My dream has always been to have a farm to share all the beautiful abundance of life and lots of space to play. I am an avid gardner, so that's a big bonus to enjoy fresh veggies while staying here. Our new addition is a yurt with double bed, and table for enjoying meals to make camping easy. Since 2008, I have worked in my home studio sewing Hanging HUGS custom luxury hammocks and shipping them around the world to make the world a more cozy place. HUGS fund my world travels and humanitarian projects, teaching many people how to make hammocks. You can learn to sew your own hammock and enjoy it here. An expedition sea kayaker and expert rock climber with more than 20 years experience giving clients a unique look at our province, it's my pleasure to introduce you to my favourite spots. Our sailboat is spacious, comfortable and fun... ready when you are. We also own an off-grid camping area 45 minutes south and have made a hiking trail to an epic location which I have been developing for climbing over 10 years. Kayaks and fat bikes to rent... we can fill a week with outdoor activities and make memories you'll never forget. This farm is a school of life. I am happy to share what I have learned about growing food, and my wife is an amazing cook who can teach how to make Korean food. Lots to do to fill a week, or just kick back in a hammock for a day by the pond, writing journal to reflect, soaking in the peaceful feelings. Learn more about this land: 1800's homestead near Jemseg river where our sailboat is moored. Gardens are abundant, kayaking is beautiful, fishing is good, and swimming is great! Welcome home!

We are a 10 minute drive to Belyea’s Cove and Crafts Cove which are perfect for boat launching and swimming. The Albright brook which runs through the property provides many wonderful sit-spots to relax and meditate.
