Welcome to the Farm: A New England Sanctuary in the Making Nestled in the heart of the Blackstone Valley, our property in Sutton, Massachusetts is a place of transition, growth, and raw natural beauty. If you are looking for a highly polished, corporate glamping resort, you won’t find it here. What you will find is a working farm dedicated to the conservation of rare and endangered birds, a landscape that is being lovingly restored one day at a time, and a hosting experience that values authenticity over perfection. We are currently in an exciting phase of development. While the "bones" of the campground are firmly in place—providing you with the essential peace, privacy, and rugged beauty you expect from a New England camping trip—we are still very much a work in progress. When you book a stay with us, you aren't just a guest; you are a witness to the evolution of this land. In fact, for those who enjoy leaving a place better than they found it, there are often opportunities to help in the development of new campsites and property projects. Whether it's helping clear a new path or offering feedback on a prospective tent platform site, your input helps shape the future of this sanctuary. The Layout: Water, Woods, and Wildlife The property is uniquely situated between two active streams, creating a natural soundscape that drowns out the hum of the modern world. Because we focus on the preservation of rare avian species, the morning chorus here is unlike anything else in the region. We currently offer three distinct sites, each with its own character: The Stream-Side Retreat: Perfect for those who want to fall asleep to the sound of rushing water. The Forest Edge: A shaded spot that offers the best vantage point for birdwatching. The Meadow View: An open area near our working farm zones, great for stargazing. While we are still installing more permanent infrastructure—including our upcoming composting and dry toilet facilities for the 2026 season—we make sure the basics are covered so you can focus on the environment. This is a place for campers who appreciate the "DIY" spirit of a farm in progress. Location: The Heart of New England One of our greatest assets is our location. We offer a "best of both worlds" scenario: total seclusion once you pull down

Site 2 Forrest Picknick

Great rustic camp site. Lukas was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed access to the well-tended private trails accessible from the site. Lots of beautiful stones and interesting plants around. We might have just gotten lucky with the conditions, but there were zero mosquitos or ticks, including on our dogs. It was fun to hear and see the farm animals. It's just a 6-minute drive to Purgatory Chasm.

Site 2 Forrest Picknick

Great spot! Wooded, privacy, perfect exploring with the pup. Nice fire pit with a grill. Owner was very hospitable, we decided to stay another night. I really liked the location. Worked great with my conversion van, plenty of space. We’ll definitely be back!

Site 2 Forrest Picknick

This was a great site! Nicely cleared out space for a tent while still surrounded by woods. Included a fire pit, a picnic table, and a grate to put over the fire. The spot is a good distance from the main road and the house. A couple tall wooden fences stood near the site, so good privacy. No hiking is required to get to the spot but still nicely nestled in the woods.

I had a fantastic stay at this site. The highway is close to you can hear steady traffic in the distance, but the property and camp sites are isolated, calm, and lovely for solo camping. Firewood was available throughout the property, and there were a few trails to explore! I definitely recommend camping here!

Site 2 Forrest Picknick

Everything was great. Instructions made things easy. Location was excellent. Felt very cozy and just enough of a forest setting to feel like camping in the wilderness instead of somebody's property. Host was extremely friendly and helpful, went above and beyond anything I could have anticipated. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Site 2 Forrest Picknick

Overall the campsite and experience was great, Lukas was very accommodating for our three vehicles. There was ample firewood available, and the site was set a good distance away from the farm itself. Unfortunately a highway borders the property, so it is not quiet during the night. The wildlife at the farm is very unique and interesting but the sites are close enough to the farm that you hear bird calls from 5am onward. The site we stayed at was on a slight hill, so be careful positioning tents. At our site, the areas cleared for tents had some roots and rocks sticking out of the ground. I would recommend this property overall.

Overall a great camping spot, we were looking for somewhere close to Maple Hill Disc Golf course, and this camp was a good distance. The farm birds were a little loud in the mornings, and the site felt a little expensive for not having a fire pit or picnic table, but it was a comfortable place to stay and we had a good time! Also, Lukas sent us home with some fresh eggs which was great!

Deep Forrest Tent Platform

My college's outing club held our senior year camping trip on Lukas's property and it could not have gone better. Lukas is incredibly friendly and his animals (dogs, goats, ducks, chickens, etc.) are adorable. We set up camp up on the hill north from the main farm next to the tree seat. There was plenty of space to set up six tents (12 people), several hammocks, and a campfire. We will definitely be recommending this site to our younger club members.
