The rich history of Burnhead Grazings is enveloped in a love for God's creation. Dr. Gib and Emmy Lou McLaughlin purchased Burnhead, which is Gaelic for the head of the stream, from William H. Stevens. The once pasture for Hilltop Dairy's cows became a pasture for sheep. Gib and Emmy had been in search of land for years after getting their first border collie and falling in love with the Shepherd lifestyle. Gib trained dozens of border collies to work the sheep and did hundreds of demonstrations highlighting the herding abilities of the collie across the country. Their love for Scotland and the border collie took them Scotland on many occasions. Burnhead Grazings is a snapshot of Scotland, "in bye" or close to, the beautiful college town of Indiana, PA. Less than two miles from two hotels, three miles from downtown, and within minutes from Amish country, it is amazing that this respite still exists so close to civilization. Gib and Emmy's daughter, Moire McLaughlin Bridges and her husband Randy have endeavored to bring the sheep back to Burnhead Grazings and to continue the family tradition as well as to share in the experience. You can listen to an interview on The Christian Witness Program on this page for some history about Moire and Randy in Tennessee where they were residing before coming to Indiana. They are producing lamb, wool for spinning and felting, and hay and are opening up the farm for small events such as weddings or family reunions. Moire is also the author and illustrator of a children's book available for sale on iBooks called Sissy & The King. In November of 2014, with the help of Hilltop Baptist Church and many others, they began hosting an event, LIFE Nativity, the weekend before Thanksgiving, which benefits Life-Way Pregnancy Center. Moire is also a fine artist and gives classes on wool felting. Ask about signing up for a class or book a private felting party.

Beautiful farm with a lovely campsite by a stream. Moire and family were so gracious to us. We took an early evening walk to see the sheep, horses and cow.

Farm Spring House Retreat
Moire and Randy are excellent hosts. The spring house was right next to the barn. Enjoyed hearing the chickens and donkey in the mornings and seeing the sheep on the hillside. Moire prepared a delicious breakfast and later that afternoon had some felting classes. Randy and Emmy were gracious enough to show my sister and I around the barn. We enjoyed petting and feeding the animals. I would like to come back next year and bring the rest of my family and camp by the pond or the stream. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. God Bless

Pond Side Tent Site
This was our third year tent camping at the pond site and we have greatly enjoyed it each time. Moire and her husband are very accommodating and take a lot of pride in their farm. We enjoy hearing the history of the farm. This is a great place for a family looking for a relaxing place to camp!

We loved camping here! Our first camping trip as a family of 5 and it was peaceful but plenty to explore. Breakfast was delicious and beautiful!

Burnhead Grazing is a portal to bygone treasures. Come if you yearn for deep rest. Come if you'd like to feel the Living Spirit of True Welcome from hosts Randy and Moire who embody it, and from the embrace of the place itself ( pond, idyllic stream, lush forest, pasture lands, wildlife and farm animals!) Come too for the breakfasts, and for the nourishments that you'll long remember , even after you're long gone....
