Weekend Trip to Rosy Goat Farm

Trish was very friendly and welcoming. She responded quickly to texts and welcomed us when we arrived. The goats were a hoot! The geese were not as happy to see us but they learned to tolerate us after a while. Great place to enjoy animals.

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

Jessica is responsive, friendly, gave good directions, and was flexible. It’s a place to stay, have a fire, and picnic table.

Weekend Trip to Fernwood on Alan F.’s Land

Fantastic stay for first time campers looking for a little exposure to the outdoors. Great accommodations with a clean porta potty and plenty of wood for the fire. It’s easy go for a hike into the woods nearby and listen to forest around you!

Weekend Trip to Atland Artist Residency

a really magical property that made me feel truly relaxed and at peace. very special. especially if you ride your bike there :)

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

We loved our stay here! We were on the pond site and we loved the sound of the frogs and nature in the night time. It was also nice to walk the trails and see all the other animals on the farm. The campsite was very private and came with a fireplace. Dominic was very kind when we chatted and gave us a good amount of wood for $10! Thanks for the awesome stay!

3 nights at Hartwoods

We truly had a wonderful time, Rick was a great host, made sure we were doing ok which I appreciate. Site was great and easy to get too. I think I loved the firepit the most it was huge. Highly recommend bringing outdoor carpet as the site is gravel.

2 nights at Greener Pastures Camp

Had a great stay! Quite and spacious, and convienent to town. Jessica is a friendly and helpful host!

1 night at Wee Three Farm

I absolutely adored this spot. Incredibly private, quiet aside from the wonderful animal noises from nearby farms. We had plenty of shade for the hot day we weete there. The real magic happened after dark when the fireflies came out and danced all along the field across from our site. It was magical. Would definitely recommend this spot. My dogs loved it til.

1 night at Greener Pastures Camp

Super friendly, peaceful, and beautiful spot! Thanks Jessica.

Weekend Trip to Turtle Bend Farm

Really beautiful location and cool animals! The host was helpful and quick to respond.

Weekend Trip to Wee Three Farm

We had a great weekend at We Three Farm. First trip with our new (to us) RV.

Weekend Trip to Hartwoods

Quiet and peaceful spot. Nice level gravel site. I pulled in my 23’ trailer. Go to second entrance as it was easier. I would stay again. The town is wonderful.

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

This is such a lovely place to spend a few nights! Dom is very kind and helpful, and met us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we need. The tent site is awesome - the pond is beautiful and the site is private. The animals are the best part!! They are always out and about and super cute :)

Weekend Trip to Pegasus Farms LLC

I loved tent camping there. It was peaceful and host was friendly.

A very nice, quiet site in the woods. Lots of room, good level site with full hookups available. The host was really welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

1 night at Greener Pastures Camp

The communication was great and the property easy to find. Jessica’s parking instructions were simple to follow and clearly stated. The property is a large mowed area with woods-so pretty! I would camp here again. Thank you, Jessica, for making such a lovely spot available to campers.

1 night at Glamping with the Wild Horses

We were traveling in New England and decided to try this cool glamping site instead of booking an ordinary hotel. It was a great choice. We stayed in a geodesic dome complete with two real beds, woodstove, dresser, small table with chairs, and a nice leather sofa overlooking the woods. The pictures of the interior are accurate, and there was also a power bank for charging our phones. The dome is one of three clustered close together with a shared fire pit, on the grounds of an equestrian facility for rescued mustangs that was really cool. We got to watch the horses eat and play, as their feeding station was only about 20 yards from the domes. The woods surrounding the campsite are beautiful and largely untouched. There are several trails worth exploring, one of which leads to a giant dome used for large groups and yoga. Keep in mind that this is a rural area and cell phone reception is not good near the domes (Verizon), and at the time there was no wireless near the campsite, so plan accordingly. Both calls and texts were spotty and often took several minutes to go through. Facetime did not work. Internet browsing was not possible. The other cell phone providers may work fine...we had Verizon and it did not. Other than that, it was a fun stay, for a good cause, and I would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Humble Farm with Simplicity

Great spot! Mary was warm and welcoming. The site was as described , quite lovely.

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

Such a cute and quiet space to camp on. Loved the ducks! Close to shopping and parks. Great area of Connecticut.

Weekend Trip to Vernal Heights

We loved camping on Addison's property! Soooo much better than a crowded state park on a big weekend like MDW. He offered to deliver us firewood, and also gave some great hiking and activity suggestions nearby. Loved that he took the time to come over for a quick hello and chat. So calm and peaceful, just what we were looking for!

Mickelberry Forest Gardens

The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house. When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here. We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site. We have had our son develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same. It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property. We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped. Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others. Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you. Come visit Mickleberry!!! Learn more about this land: Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program.

Rosy Goat Farm

4 sites · RVs, Tents13 acres · Gilbertville, MA

Welcome to Rosy Goat Farm!! We are the quintessential family farm/homestead, our farmhouse was built in the 1840’s Bill and I bought this 13-acre property in 2012, It was overgrown with wild roses. We have worked with a limited budget, and used animals to clear the land. The goats love the wild roses. The pigs dig the roses up. Chickens rake it clean. Win win! Very interesting place here- lots to tell you, there’s quite a list of things to do and see around here! Did you know that Gilbertville has a covered bridge? It is one of the last covered bridges still in use in Massachusetts! First- a touch of Hardwick History: Rev. Timothy Ruggles bought this land from the Native Americans for his family to live on, and to work the land. His son, Brigadeer General Timothy Ruggles became unpopular after he introduced the Stamp Act, and was banished to Nova Scotia. His daughter Bathsheba became the last woman executed in the United States for the murder of her husband Joshua Spooner. (There’s a book about it called Murdered by his wife, by Deborah Navas.) Want to know local eateries? For breakfasts and lunch there is The Whistle Stop diner, it was a former Boston & Albany Railroad station. Speaking of railroads, did you know that The Mass Central Rail Trail runs through Gilbertville! Rose 32, is a well known bakery that serves tea, coffee and sandwiches. There’s Hardwick house of Pizza- for tasty pizza and subs, which also serves beer. Feeling fancy? Try Hardwick Crossing Country Club (features a 9 hole golf course), it has a restaurant with a full-service bar, gorgeous scenery! Its a 3 minute drive from here Mimi’s for your morning coffee and lunch, yum! And it overlooks our beautiful Common! Also check out Stone Cow Brewery in Barre -has a kids play area while you wait for your meal! Ware has Mexicali Grill, Theresa’s Restaurant for Italian foods, Bellies Barnyard for traditional American cuisine, and, Pig Park BBQ for comfort food! Farmer Mat in North Brookfield has take out meals- there are picnic tables available, beautiful views. Things to do: You can kayak, and fish, at Swift River in Belchertown. Hardwick is the home of the oldest agricultural fair in the US, held every year in August, and, every Sunday there’s a small farmers market on the common. Hardwick also has a winery- Hardwick Vineyard and Winery, they have all kinds of events, (find them on facebook) and, check out Lost Towns brewery- the name is a throwback to the 4 towns that were submerged to create the Quabbin Reservoir! Medicine River Pow Wow is in August here in Gilbertville, on River Run Rd. The East Quabbin Land Trust has birdwatching and fabulous views, and the Mass Central Rail Trail entrance is located here. Bike it or hike it! Quabbin Reservoir is close by for boating and fishing. There are free concerts in Grenville Park in Ware, (check for dates). Ware also has Janine’s Frostee ice cream and fast foods- and live music on weekend nights! Also check out these on line: Ragged Hill orchard and Rock House Reservation in West Brookfield, and Carter and Stevens farm in Barre. The Leicester, and Mendon movie drive-in’s. Old Sturbridge village is 30 minutes away. Lake Lashaway has a swimming area in East Brookfield, right off of Rte 9. It’s about 20 minutes from here.

We are a small family farm where we raise animals and grow flowers/food. Our family home was built in 1739 and is situated near the street entrance. As you enter the property, you will see two cottages, the oldest corn crib in the county, and a beautifully restored 1800s barn. There is a vintage-style camper to the left of the barn, located in an area where you can have privacy overlooking the pastures. We live on the property and can assist guests with anything that they might need. Guests are welcome to stroll around the property and enjoy all it has to offer. We have a farm store and education center opening summer of 2025! Check our website to see classes and offerings that you might take advantage of during your stay. Please note, that we ask that guests do not enter the barn or fenced pasture without one of the farm owners (Molly & Diego). Our animals are accustomed to people, but livestock is unpredictable, especially to people that they do not know. There is plenty of area outside of the pasture that guests can enjoy. If you opt for a farm tour we promise that you will have plenty of interaction with our many animals.
