Socks Family Farm comprises 30 acres, high in the hills of Cabot VT. We book only one reservation at a time, to give our guests a unique, private experience. Campers can choose from a wide open site with a view of the mountains, or a secluded site in the woods, with the babbling year-round brook in the background. The fields are meadowland, where we pasture our animals, cut hay, and enjoy the company of a diverse cohort of grasses, flowers, insects, and birds. On clear nights, the stars are lovely, and you'll be treated to the breathtaking sweep of the Milky Way. During the day, you can linger in the gardens, visit the sheep and chickens, wade in the pond, hike in the woods, walk the lovely dirt roads, or head out on your bike. If you're ready to range further, we're a short drive to hiking, paddling, fishing, swimming, epic mountain biking, quaint eateries, microbreweries, and more. St Johnsbury and Montpelier are the closest cities (25 and 35 minutes). Burlington is 1.25 hours, and Montreal is 2.5 hours. We moved to this land in 2007 with our two small children, and began developing a homestead. Over time, we built 2 greenhouses, a large equipment shed, planted and fenced an orchard, berry & perennial patch, & vegetable garden, made several flower gardens, set up systems for pasturing sheep and chickens, planted native shrubs and trees, and completely renovated the farmhouse. We practice organic regenerative agriculture and landscaping, with a deep commitment to strengthening and diversifying ecological systems. We offer free farm tours, and those who want to help and learn are welcome. We love the beauty of this land, and look forward to sharing it with you.Our Mountain View site has wide open views to the far hills. Parking is near the site, just off the road. Our Forest Brook site features a secluded spot for a tent just inside the woods, near the edge of the field. As the name implies, you'll be hearing the brook quite clearly! Parking is a bit further, about a 300' walk. Both sites have a primitive fire ring.

Agricultural Bliss at Socks Farm

Relax with a beautiful view!

Tent camping at Socks Family Farm was lovely. Susan was a kind and informative host. She gave me a tour of her homestead and some of the rich history! Her positive vibe helped make my solo camping adventure feel safe and comfortable. Her dog Helga was a treat, and hearing the sheep and chickens added to the charm. I stayed at the Mountain View campsite. The view was gorgeous and the area was spacious. The sun directly hits the tent so it gets a bit hot in the mornings but nothing I'm not used to. It helped dry out my tent after it sprinkled early Sunday morning. You have to walk a few feet from the parking area to the campsite but it isn't bad. Susan gave lots of recommendations for things to do which I was grateful for. There are lots of hikes around the area for any level of hiker. Plus, there are many lakes for kayaking and taking a dip. Overall, a great stay at the farm!! I would (and probably will) stay again. Thank you so much, Susan!!!

Camping at the end of the rainbow

My daughter and I stayed at the Mountain View sight on Socks Farm. Susan greeted us and gave us an informative farm tour. She was very gracious and answered all of our questions. She and her family gave us suggestions for local attractions and restaurants that were suited for our tastes. The bit of rain that we got gave us a beautiful rainbow. We had a great visit at this beautiful location.

I loved staying on the Socks Family Farm! Susan and her dog Helga were so welcoming and more than willing to answer any of our questions about the property, animals, or surrounding area. I can’t wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our time at Socks Family Farm. Susan was a wonderful host, super accommodating and helpful! We loved learning about their family homestead and the practices that go on behind the scenes. Susan even let us feed the baby lambs! The view was wonderful & we will definitely be back when the weather is warmer. Totally totally recommend!
