Susan is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

Socks Family Farm comprises 30 acres, high in the hills of Cabot VT. We book only one reservation at a time, to give our guests a unique, private experience. Campers can choose from a wide open site with a view of the mountains, or a secluded site in the woods, with the babbling year-round brook in the background. 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. On clear nights, the stars are lovely, and 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 and berry garden, a large vegetable patch, 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 and learn are welcome. We love the beauty of this land, and look forward to sharing it with you.We book only one reservation at a time, so you have the whole place to yourself, with your choice of two lovely campsites. Our Mountain View site has wide open views to the far hills. Parking is near the site, just off the road. Our Forest Brook site features a secluded spot for a tent just inside the woods, near the edge of the field. As the name implies, you'll be hearing the brook quite clearly! Parking is a bit further, about a 300' walk. Both sites have a primitive fire ring.

This was our third stay at Susan’s farm. Each time has been an unforgettable experience. We have three littles (5, 2, and 6 months) and it’s the perfect place to camp with small kids. The kids loved looking at the chickens, picking fruit and running around her field. Susan is an awesome host and it’s been a pleasure to chat with her each time we visit. We always learn from her and leave feeling inspired. We will definitely be back for more core memories in the future!
