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.

Farm Spring House Retreat

100%
(67)
Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 2 bedrooms · 2 beds · 1 toilet
This Spring House was built in the early 1900s. There’s air conditioning and heat. It is right next to our barn that houses our sheep, chickens, horses and mini donkeys. You’ll have 68 acres to enjoy. This is priced for glamping and the second bed is a comfy futon and if you want breakfast it’s an extra. Make sure to select your extras like linens and towels before you book. You’re 1/4 mile walk or drive from the farm house and can have privacy, or you can come have breakfast with us for an extra charge. We have farm to table offerings in many forms. Let us know ahead of time please so we can let you know if breakfast is available. There is a small refrigerator, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, air fryer, and microwave in the Spring House. There is also a nice fire pit with a grill and griddle. You’ll need to bring your cooking gear. We love the land, animals, and people especially! We’re trying to maintain our family homestead by sharing with people who respect our life and we give the same. It’s like camping in Scotland, only nearby. We hope you’ll come and stay a while!
