Hello! We are family farm mainly focused on Nigerian Dwarf and Mini-Nubian goats, Kunekune pigs, and silkie chickens! We also have a couple cows, peacocks, alpaca, ducks, quail, pigeons, sheep, mini equine, and rabbits. We can offer as much or as little farm experience as you’d like! Lend us a hand or book baby goat cuddling and sit in the pasture in a sea of friendly goats!! Baby goat cuddling and farm tours can be added on for an extra fee, check our extras! We usually get up early and do our farm chores, and depending on the time of year we could be bottle feeding baby goats or calves, delivering baby goats, or working on outdoor farm projects. Our home was built in 1864 and our barn is original! Our property is not far from Montpelier, the home of our 4th president, and about an hour from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. We love wine tasting in Charlottesville, and taking day trips to Shenandoah National Park. We are 45 minutes from Fredericksburg, 28 minutes from Culpeper, and 20 minutes from Lake Anna. Send us a message and learn more about all we have to offer!

Skoolie on the Farm

Best farm I have visited so far

I loved the stay at the farm. There were a lot of farm animals and they were kind. I loved holding the baby goats and feeding the baby cow. I will surely return back one day ☺️ I recommend this stay

Skoolie on the Farm

Several areas could use some cleaning up. The picnic tables were not cleaned properly, small balloon liter all around the hose from previous water balloons. Sheep fur stuck within the grass under the picnic tables. Outside of bus door was what looked like spilled potting soil or mature!? Granted a hard working farm but skoolie accommodations could use more attention

Historic Hobby Farm | Goats & Pigs

We had a great time at Laura's! The space was open and there was a huge tree which provided nice shade. Laura provided fire wood for the campfire as well as a grate if we wanted to cook over the fire. We purchased eggs and had those for breakfast and they were delicious! We took a tour of the farm and even fed the baby goats and calves which were the highlights of the camping trip for our 6yr old. We also made use of the playground which was another highlight for our 6 yr old. Overall, we had a great time at Laura's and the kiddo has already asked when we can go back. Thank you!

Laura's farm is wonderful. The animals are fun to watch and the bus was very comfortable. Laura was welcoming and available, but left us alone to do our thing. Before we even left, my 4-year-old son asked to come back, but wants to stay for a week on the next visit. Highly recommend this experience, especially for young kids.

Historic Hobby Farm | Goats & Pigs

Had a great time with the little ones at Happy Meadows farm, Laura’s historic hobby farm. Laura and her husband are wonderful hosts. My two year old and her six year old bestie got to collect eggs for breakfast, feed baby goats, and feed baby cows! They played at the playground and in general had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend and we’ll return!
