Meadow Farm is a quiet and creative sanctuary surrounded by the forest. The ocean breezes freshen the air and the pulse of the planet is heard as the surf sounds travel to put us to rest at night.. We are a place for people experimenting with the new old ways to live with low impact and conservation of our precious resources. We offer affordable accommodations, organic gardening, and education on plants and living simply. We welcome your interest in veganic garden and diet, orchards, and forest trails. Our organic vegetables and fruit may be available if you wish to bring some of our farm to your table. Our garden is reduced this time of year but we may still have something to share. We can offer you a quiet and peaceful place without social pressures if you wish to "decompress" from city life, jobs or any stressful times. Or come to the communal fire near the bathhouse for sharing some time with family and the few other campers that may be there. Bringing your own wood is welcome. The coastal bike and hike trails are many. From South of Ft Bragg to the Sand Dunes near Ward Ave. you can travel over 7 miles one way and go down to quiet little beach coves along the way. Meadow Farm is a nonprofit 501c3 with goals of coastal food security, disaster preparation and sheltering, carbon sequestering and forest restoration. We offer native plant tours on or off site with advance notice. We like our dog companions! Two McNab collies, Moxie and Shama live here and may bark at first...still very friendly and social with people and other dogs.. There are several dog friendly off-leash areas such as, Noyo North Harbor Beach, Seaside Beach and dog parks in both Ft Bragg and Mendocino. Our farm is dog friendly tho we wish pets to be kept close, must be neutered and friendly to other dogs and people. Please be sure to bury or bag the waste. Speaking of waste, Meadow Farm strives to reduce waste by avoiding plastic as much as possible, recycling what we can and composting our veggie scraps. Please bring your own waste receptacles and take them along when you go. We take ours to the Caspar Transfer Station which is open Saturday through Wednesday... the location and hours can be found online. Our water is from a deep well and we periodically test it for bacteria. It is cold and delicious. Our irrigation pipes that have spigots and hoses at each camp are safe for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Our solar pump moves water into storage tanks that provide all the water to the farm. It is very important that the water valves on your camp spigot is turned off (gently please) to avoid losing 2500 gallons of water in a short time. If you see a leak or break in a line please contact us immediately. There are also water shut offs for the camps on the west side of the Farm House if you are unable to reach us right away.. When doing dishes we request that you use the strainer to catch food particles from the dish water and toss them in your trash or compost bucket. If you have vegetable waste let us know and we can pick them up for adding to the worm bins or composting piles. We make worm "tea" fertilizer and rich soil from these offerings. No animal products or oil please... a few egg shells are okay. We do have the usual wildlife though we haven't had problems with them. Ravens will raid your camp if food or bags are left out while you are away. From dusk to dawn keep children and pets close. We coexist well here with the critters...and glad to have them. Wishing you a very peaceful and soul refreshing stay at Meadow Farm. Come and allow this natural setting to heal and restore your sense of well-being.

Turkey Tail Camp

This camp spot has a picture perfect background of redwood forest. The bird life was amazing. Great spot for a bird nerd.

Red Tail Hawk Camp

Lovely farm to stay on! The land was well maintained and Sojourna gave good directions to get there. It was nice staying so close to Fort Bragg.

Red Tail Hawk Camp

Great stay!

The campsite was really nice and quiet, next to a grassy field. We were there one night and it was great to have a campsite close to Fort Bragg that’s away from the noisier areas. The bathroom was close by and having access to a shower was great during the heat wave. The sites are a little close together but there was only one other couple there too and there was an empty site between us. It was very quiet at night, you could hear the skunk train in the distance. Sojourna came by and chatted with us, she was absolutely lovely. We got more insight into the farm and it cemented wanting to come back. Thank you for the great stay!

Blue Heron Camp

Beautiful but not quiet

When we arrived, we were initially charmed by the location: beautiful forest, inspiring garden, clean and practical toilet and shower, location close to town. The host responsed fast and with details and attention. Sadly, we changed our minds in the evening. The curfew wasn't respected by the other guests, and the hosts didn't make sure it was. The idea of a communal campfire is interesting, but it also encourages discussions that can go on late into the night, or exaggerated children's screams that are not managed by the parents, and thus disturb the sleep of the other campers. We had chosen this spot because of its reputation for tranquility, praised by the hosts. Unfortunately, in our case, this was not the case at all. We suggest that hosts remove this mention, as well as the curfew, to avoid any misrepresentation. We had initially thought of extending our stay by a few nights, but the lack of silence on the first night convinced us to leave. Unfortunately. 65$ a night seems a lot to me for not being entitled to the silence and tranquillity of the the forest.

This was a lovely place to stay. The property is spacious and well maintained. We enjoyed the communal campfire and the garden tour. Location was perfect for exploring the coast.

Blue Heron Camp

I loved that there were tables and chairs, lots of space for us to car camp, showers, and two toilets available. Lovely property and nice host! Signs are hard to read when arriving at night, but Sojourna was quick to remedy that for future campers. Overall, great stay!
