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
Amazing Getaway!
Our stay on the Historic Hobby Farm was fantastic! From the get-go, we enjoyed an enthusiastic welcome from all the animals on the farm. Even though it got below freezing at night, the heater on the Skoolie provided us with plenty of warmth to sleep throughout the night! The fire at night was perfect with the clear skies and there was plenty of privacy.

It was nice and cozy, warm even in late November freezing temps with their nice heater. Laura was great with communication and made us feel welcome. The dogs were so cute!

Awesome weekend!
I loved staying at Laura’s place. It was super relaxing and we had the best time both sitting around the fire pit in the evenings and playing with animals over the day.

Loved the Skoolie!!
The Skoolie is surrounded by beautiful corn fields and animals everywhere! It’s quiet and a complete respite from town! Only an hour away from Charlottesville. I’ll definitely be back. Everything I needed for dry camping was there. The outhouse being nearby is very convenient. Buckets for washing myself up and for my dishes. A water hose plus an electric chord for plugging in phone etc Delicious fruit spreads and goat caramel to dip my apples in!!! This place was a sweet treat and I’ll be sure to give myself another weekend getaway as soon as possible.

Pond In The Cornfield
Cuddles , Cuteness and Fall Goodnes
This place is so close from DC, about 1.5hrs and worth the small trip to get out and enjoy a working farm. Hostess is so sweet, checked us in and brought fire wood. We had a lot of privacy in the corn field by the pond and walked over in the a.mm to snuggle with pumpkin and met Laura’s little dogs. Many wonderful lil creatures on site , if you’re an animal hugger or lover this is hip hip horray hipcamp!

Great experience!
What an amazing gem! Laura was happy to give us a tour of her property and show us around the farm. She loves all of her animals and you can see it in their loving personalities. The school bus was so cozy and warm. I would definitely love to come back!
