The homestead originally settled in the 1830's has been in continuous farming operation since that time. We purchased the farm from the family in 2015 and have continued to operate it as a homestead. Including managing the forest as well as the farmable land. There are so many wonderful finds from the insects to the star gazing all available on this wonderful piece of land. Join us as we explore and appreciate all that nature has to offer. Learn more about this land: Beautiful secluded area under the 17 foot circumference oaks and maple stands. Learn the history of the great rock in the woods along with the history of the homestead. Organic practices on the farm have brought back butterflies, dragonflies, birds, fox, deer and many other wonderful creatures. The homestead is a working farm with produce, chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, ducks, goats and pigs watch all the farm activity from your campsite. The camping area is large enough for several tents while being secluded from life on the farm. Wonderful area to explore the 22 acres of woods or come visit the working 18 acres of organic farm land.
